Trzebież [ˈtʂɛbjɛʂ] (formerly German: Ziegenort) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Police, within Police County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-western Poland, close to the German border.[1] It lies approximately 15 kilometres (9 mi) north of Police and 28 km (17 mi) north of the regional capital Szczecin.

The village has a population of 2,500. It lies on the Szczecin Lagoon, and has a harbour, a marina, a beach and a school of sailing.

History

The first chronicle mentions of Trzebież come from around 1280, when Fr. Pomeranian Bogusław IV gave the village to a burgher from Szczecin. The settlement suffered heavy losses during the Thirty Years' and Seven Years' Wars. In the following centuries, Trzebież developed as a typical settlement on the Szczecin Lagoon. In the 18th century, the village gained its own self-government. At the end of the 19th century, passenger and transit ports, as well as a shipyard, were built here. After 1898, Trzebież gained a railway connection with Police, and in 1910 a regular passenger connection was launched. By 1930, the waters of the lagoon revealed a beach of clean sand. This initiated the development of tourism.

During World War II, the settlement suffered approximately 40% of its buildings (mainly the port and the sawmill). There was also a temporary camp for Polish forced laborers here[2]. Trzebież was occupied on April 27, 1945 by Soviet (2nd Belorussian Front - 2nd Shock Army) and Polish troops, and was placed under Polish administration in September 1946 after the liquidation of the so-called Police EnclaveCite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page)..

For several post-war months, the town was called Zatoka by the first Polish settlers[2]. In 1946, the Zaodrzańskie Forest Management Board was established here, later transformed into the Trzebież Forest District. By 1948, the port, shipyards and sawmill were reopened, and the "Certa" fishing cooperative was established. The settlement began to develop dynamically. Trzebież's greatest prosperity took place in the 1970s[2], it was then the largest Polish port on the Szczecin Lagoon[3].

On November 24, 2018, as a result of arson, a several hundred-meter-long wooden walking promenade by the Szczecin Lagoon burned down[4]. Trzebież, known as Ziegenort to its residents while part of Germany until 1945, became part of Poland after the end of World War II in accordance with the Potsdam Agreement, and changed its name to the Polish Trzebież.
