Biały Bór

Biały Bór (Polish: [ˈbjawɨ ˈbur] ⓘ; German: Baldenburg) is a town in Szczecinek County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland, with 2,226 inhabitants as of December 2021.

Located at a formerly important crossroad, the Teutonic Knights built a fortification here, and in 1382[5] the settlement received Kulm law town rights.

Since then it was administratively located in the Człuchów County in the Pomeranian Voivodeship[7] until the First Partition of Poland in 1772, when it was annexed by Prussia,[6] and subsequently from 1871 it was part of Germany.

While most of Gdańsk Pomerania was reintegrated with Poland after the country regained independence in 1918, the town was one of the few which remained within Germany and was included in the newly established province, provocatively named towards Poles the Frontier March of Posen-West Prussia.

[9] During the war, in January 1945, a German-perpetrated death march of Allied prisoners-of-war from the Stalag XX-B POW camp passed through the town.
