Łobez

Łobez [ˈwɔbɛs] ⓘ (Kashubian: Łobéz; German: Labes) is a town on the river Rega in northwestern Poland, within the West Pomeranian Voivodeship.

The name Łobez comes from the Old Polish łobuzie (meaning "bushes").

In the 12th century Łobez was a Slavic stronghold[2] located within Poland and after the fragmentation of Poland into smaller duchies within the Griffin-ruled Duchy of Pomerania until its dissolution in 1637.

Łobez was first mentioned in a document from 1271, according to which a knight named Borko, who was also the Castellan of nearby Kołobrzeg, was the owner of the town.

By 1275 Łobez received town rights.
