history

The area of ​​today's Powiat Kościerski (" Berent District ") belonged to the German province of West Prussia until 1920 and had to be ceded to Poland after the First World War due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty for the purpose of setting up the Polish Corridor , which it then to its Voivodeship Großpommerellen affiliated. After the invasion of Poland in 1939, the area was assigned to the Gdansk administrative district in the Reichsgau Danzig-West Prussia of the German Reich until it was occupied by the Red Army in the spring of 1945 towards the end of World War II . On April 7, 1945, the powiat was assigned to the newly created Gdansk Voivodeship .
