Ⅵ.History and Culture
-The oldest history of the town on Dzierżęcinka is connected with Polska Piastowska, then with the West Pomeranian Duchy. Koszalin was mentioned for the first time in Kronika Wielkopolska as one of the forts conquered in 1107 by Bolesław the Wrymouth. From the 10th to the 13th century, as a Slavic stronghold, it served as a service to the famous cult center on the nearby Góra Chełmska. Here, in the 13th century, a Christian chapel, a pilgrim center known in the Middle Ages, was built.
-Old KoszalinIn 1248, Koszalin was taken over by the bishop of Kamień, and the town was located under the Lubeck law on May 23, 1266 by its owner, Bishop Herman von Gleichen. In the mid-14th century, by the decision of the city council, Lake Jamno with a spit was bought for the city's needs, from where agricultural and forest produce began to be exported from the small port in Unieście to the Scandinavian countries, Gdańsk and Lübeck. Koszalin gained an independent position in the Baltic trade after the victorious battle with Kołobrzeg in 1446. Soon it also became a full member of the Hanseatic League, a trade organization of northern European cities. The prestige of the city was strengthened at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries, when the bishop dukes from the Griffin family built a castle here, and the city became the center of land assemblies for the Kamien dominion. The glory days were interrupted by the Thirty Years' War, after which Koszalin along with the entire West Pomerania became part of Brandenburg, and then Prussia. In the 18th century, the economic boom brought a demand for cloth produced for the needs of the Prussian army.
-The city was also profitable by the production of soap, paper, haberdashery and carriages. The great fire in 1718 destroyed 2/3 of the buildings, hence only a few buildings from the former glory of the castle have survived to this day. In the 19th century, Koszalin became the administrative and communication center of Central Pomerania, a center of industry and services. It housed, among others aircraft factory (WW1), paper factory, poultry and salmon processing plant, brewery, dairy and agricultural machinery factory. In the interwar period, Koszalin was hit by a crisis; only the 1930s saw a revival in industry related to Germany's preparations for World War II.
-As a result of German-Soviet and Polish fights in Pomerania, which were a consequence of the Yalta pact, on March 4, 1945, the city was seized by the Soviet Army and incorporated into the Polish state. Until February 1946, it served as the capital of Western Pomerania, and in June 1950 obtained the status of the capital of the voivodeship. Since 1972, Koszalin has also been the seat of the Koszalin-Kołobrzeg Diocese. On June 1, 1991, Pope John Paul II was the guest of the city, greeted by the inhabitants of the entire province. The moment of the blessing given to the city is commemorated by the statue of the Holy Father unveiled on the fifth anniversary of his visit in front of the Koszalin cathedral.
