Karsibór (German Kaseburg , also Caseburg ) is a part of the municipality Świnoujście (Swinoujscie) in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship , Poland . Karsibór is located on the island of the same name on the Szczecin Lagoon, which was part of the island of Usedom until the 19th century.
history
A coin from the year 718 was found near the village, which is considered to be the oldest datable find on the island of Usedom. The place was first mentioned in 1242, when the Dargun monastery acquired ownership rights here and in neighboring Garz . The monastery established a bailiwick in Kaseburg . In addition to Kaseburg, the towns of Woitzig , Faulensee and Swine belonged to it. After the Reformation was introduced in Pomerania in 1534 and the subsequent secularization , the Kaseburger Hofmeisterei was subordinated to the ducal office in Wolgast . Kaseburg also belonged to the Wolgast Synod until 1720.
After the Swedish army landed near Peenemünde during the Thirty Years' War in 1630 , King Gustav II Adolf of Sweden is said to have moved into his accommodation in the Kaseburg rectory between 14 and 19 July. When the island of Usedom came to Swedish Pomerania in 1648 after the Peace of Westphalia , the Kaseburg estate came to Johan Axelsson Oxenstierna . The Swedes had a shipyard built near Kaseburg in the middle of the 17th century, which got its wood from the Kaseburg Heath . The shipyard closed again after the trees were cut down.
With the construction of the Kaiserfahrt , the eastern part of the island of Usedom was separated with Kaseburg and became a separate island. During the Second World War , a port for submarines and speedboats was built directly on the Kaiserfahrt. The Navy's 4th training fleet was stationed here in 1944 . The remains of the demagnetization system can still be seen today .
After the Second World War , Kaseburg came to Poland . The place and the island were renamed Karsibór , which comes close to the name Carisubour from the first mention, which should mean beautiful forest . In 1966, the single-lane Piastowski Bridge was completed over the Stara Świna ( Old Swine ), which connects Karsibór with the island of Wolin. The bridge was rebuilt with two lanes between 2011 and 2012, the old bridge was demolished in 2013. A bus line has been set up from Świnoujście.
