history

The first written mention of the village comes from the year 1278. At that time the Bishop of Cammin, Hermann von Gleichen , furnished the newly founded nunnery Kolberg with property. The village called "Wobrote" also belonged to this property. The place name is likely to be derived from the Slavic “w brode”, which means “at the ford” or “after the ford” and may then refer to a ford over the nearby Persante . The new monastery was not located in the city of Kolberg , which was founded under German law , but in the old town of Kolberg , about 4 kilometers northwest of the village.

The village remained in the possession of the Kolberg nunnery in the following centuries. The property was reflected in field names such as "Nonnenberg" and "Klostermoor". After the Reformation the village was administered by the Kolberg Office.

On the Great Lubin map of the Duchy of Pomerania from 1618, the place is entered as "Woblat".

During the Seven Years' War , Wobrov was burned down by Russian troops during the siege of Kolberg. After the war it was in the village form of a one-sided line village rebuilt. In Ludwig Wilhelm Brüggemann's detailed description of the current state of the Royal Prussian Duchy of Western and Western Pomerania (1784), "Wobrodt or Wobrow" is listed under the villages of the Kolberg Office. At that time there were 5 farms here, including the Schulzen, 2 semi-farms and a total of 11 households (“fire places”).

Around 1860 there were 24 residential buildings, a water mill, a windmill, a school house and 30 farm buildings in Wobrow. 36 horses, 113 cattle, 294 sheep, 7 pigs and 1 goat were kept.

As part of the abolition of the manor districts in Prussia, the neighboring manor district of the old town with its residential area Helenenhöhe was incorporated into Wobrow in 1928. Until 1945 the rural community of Wobrow with the residential areas Altstadt and Helenenhöhe belonged to the Kolberg-Körlin district in the Prussian province of Pomerania .

Towards the end of World War II , Wobrow was taken by the Red Army . In 1945 Wobrow came to Poland, like all of Western Pomerania. The population was evicted and replaced by Poles . The place name was Polonized to "Obroty". Today the place belongs to the Gmina Kołobrzeg (rural municipality Kolberg) .
