Dziwnówek ( Dievenow Forest , also known as Klein Dievenow ) is about 2 km from the center of Dziwnów.

The village, which is located in Hinterpommern , is located on an average 400 m wide, 6 km long headland of the Pomeranian mainland between the Dievenow estuary and the Baltic Sea. The headland extends from east to west of the island Wolin ( Wollin ) and delimits the Fritzower See (Polish: Jezorio Wrzosowo ) from the Baltic Sea. At Dziwnów the Dziwna ( Dievenow ) flows into the Baltic Sea , the right of three inlets that connect the Szczecin Lagoon with the open Baltic Sea.

history

The village was known as a German seaside resort since 1827. Until 1945, Dievenow belonged to the administrative district of Stettin in the Pomeranian province . Before 1945 the village consisted of four independent places:

1. East Dievenow

2. Berg Dievenow

3. Klein Dievenow

4. West Dievenow

With the exception of Klein Dievenow, the districts were located on the 6 km long headland between the Dievenow estuary and the Baltic Sea. Except for West Dievenow, which belonged to the Usedom-Wollin district, the districts were in the Cammin i. Pom. Farthest forward on the headland was the Ost-Dievenow lake and brine bath, which was the most important district of Dievenow at the time. Berg Dievenow was also a brine bath since 1895. The fishing village of Klein Dievenow was originally a Vorwerk of the village of Fritzow in the northern corner of the Camminer Bodden ( Fritzower See ). In 1935 the towns of Berg Dievenow and Ost Dievenow , in front of which a long beach promenade stretches, were merged to form Dievenow .

Between east and west Dievenow a ferry operated over the Dievenow in 1920 (according to MTB).

Towards the end of the Second World War , the Red Army had advanced rapidly on March 4th and 5th, 1945, coming from the south-east, towards the Stettiner Haff , Dievenow and Oder , but had to stop there for nine weeks. The fighting on the Dievenow peninsula continued until the beginning of May. During this time, the region from the island of Wollin and the Baltic Sea was under constant German artillery fire. Dievenow and other localities were badly damaged.

After the end of the war, Dievenow became part of Poland together with the whole of Western Pomerania . The German seaside resort Dievenow was given the Polish name Dziwnów .

On January 1, 2004 Dziwnów received city rights.
