history
Jews were mentioned in Bahn as early as the late Middle Ages . It was not until the 17th century that some Jewish families settled permanently in the village.
During the First World War , the Jewish community, which had been reduced to a few families and which had since become a subsidiary of the Jewish community in Greifenberg , was in the process of dissolution.
In the mid-1930s there were only six Jewish shops left in the village.
The memorial book of the Federal Archives lists four citizens living in Bahn who fell victim to the genocide of the National Socialist regime .
The city of Bahn came to Poland after the Second World War , like all of Western Pomerania . It received the Polish place name Banie.
