Dobrzyń nad Wisłą (Polish: [ˈdɔbʐɨɲ ˌnad ˈvʲiswɔ̃] ⓘ; German: Dobrin an der Weichsel) is a town in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland.

In 1230 document records that Wojciech was village leader from an unspecified town, identified in the literature with Dobrzyń.

A village governor of Dobrzyń called Gocwin, is recorded with the erroneous date of 1296 (the correct year is 1306).

Also they slew two monks of the order of St. Benedict, and burned ten parish churches, not counting chapels..."[5] The date of the attack is presumed to be on September 14, 1323.

During the raid of the Teutonic Order, the stronghold in Dobrzyń was attacked again in March 1329, when the towns mayor was killed by a catapult stone.

After the peace of Kalisz between Kazimier the Great and the Teutonic Knights, Dobrzyń returned to Poland.

[3] The town flourished in the 15th and 16th centuries thanks to grain trade with the major Polish city of Gdańsk.

A Jewish community was established in the town in about 1765, and Jews at one time made up one-third of the total population, but most left for Britain and the United States in the years around 1900, with none remaining today.

[3][11] In 1807, it was incorporated into the short-lived Polish Duchy of Warsaw, and in 1815 it became part of Congress Poland, later forcibly integrated into the Russian Empire.

[3] In 1864, the town faced repressions from the Russian authorities after the unsuccessful Polish January Uprising.

As part of the Intelligenzaktion, the Germans arrested and murdered Polish teachers, also in the Mauthausen concentration camp.

[3] Currently, it is a local commercial and service center with few industrial plants (footwear factory, fishing cooperative, slaughterhouse, mill).
