City of Drawno
history
Neuwedell's history was largely shaped by the noble von Wedell family , who also gave the city its name. At the beginning of the 14th century the family consisted of seven brothers who built a castle in 1313 on the eastern tip of the Düpsee peninsula. A settlement that was mentioned as "Civitas" as early as 1363 was built at its feet. In the first half of the 15th century, the area belonged to the Teutonic Order . For four years (1433-1436) it was under the protection of the Polish crown during the Hussite raids. In the Prenzlau Peace of 1479 Neuwedell came under the rule of Pomerania , which lasted until 1637. After the Pomeranian dynasty of the griffins died out, Upper Pomerania, and with it Neuwedell, fell to the Electorate of Brandenburg . Integrated into the Arenswald district, it was now in the extreme northeast of the new dominion area.
In the Swedish-Polish war Neuwedell was besieged by the Polish army in 1657, but could not be conquered. The Seven Years War ended worse for the city, because in 1758 Wedell Castle was destroyed by Russian troops. After the administrative reorganization of Prussia after the Congress of Vienna , Neuwedell came to the Arnswalde district in 1818 .
In 1854 a synagogue was built. In 1858 the town wall made of field stones, including its three gates, was torn down to make room for the city to be expanded. In 1895 it was connected to the newly built Arnswalde – Kallies railway line. Neuwedell's economy was previously characterized by agriculture, mills and cloth-making, but now sawmills, brickworks and a net factory (founded in 1905 as Mechanische Netzfabrik Gustav Strehlow; from 1935: Mechanische Netzfabrik Walter Strehlow, owner Walter Kremmin; since 1948 in Oldenburg / Lower Saxony) as "Mechanische Netzfabrik Walter Kremmin GmbH & Co. K.-G." resident) new companies.
When the province of Grenzmark was dissolved in 1938, Neuwedell and the Arnswalde district came back to Pomerania after three centuries .
At the end of the Second World War Neuwedell was almost half destroyed by the advance of the Red Army . The Soviet Union placed the city under the administration of the People's Republic of Poland in March 1945 . This renamed the city in Drawno , in the following years drove out its inhabitants and settled in their place Poles .
