History

The area became part of the emerging Polish state under its first ruler Mieszko I around 967, and following Poland's fragmentation it formed part of the Duchy of Pomerania. Hohenkrug was the first village in the Duchy of Pomerania clearly recorded as German-settled in 1173, at the beginning of the medieval German settlement of Pomerania.
