The Gmina Szemud is a rural community in the powiat Wejherowski of the Pomeranian Voivodeship in Poland . Its seat is in the village of the same name ( German Schönwalde ) with about 1650 inhabitants.

geography

The municipality is located in the historic Pomeranian countryside in the former West Prussia , about ten kilometers south of Wejherowo (Neustadt) and 30 kilometers northwest of Gdansk .

history

Until 1919 Schönwalde belonged to the Neustadt district in West Prussia . After the First World War , the district area with Schönwalde had to be ceded to the Poles due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty establishing the Polish Corridor .

Due to the attack on Poland in 1939, the district was annexed by the German Reich in violation of international law and was now assigned to the Reichsgau Danzig-West Prussia . Towards the end of the Second World War , the Red Army occupied the region in the spring of 1945 . As a result, Szemud came back to Poland.
