Kolberg-Körlin District

Kolberg-Körlin (earlier spelling Colberg-Cörlin) was a Landkreis (county) in the Prussian Province of Pomerania between 1872 and 1945.

Kolberg-Körlin comprised the village of Altstadt (now Budzistowo), a predecessor of nearby Kolberg founded before 1000 A.D. Other early settlements in the region are Pobloth and Zwilipp, both of which are first mentioned in 1159 according to the Pomeranian Urkundenbuch, and the localities Drosedow, Jarchow and Rützow, first mentioned in 1180 by the same source.

In early 1945 at the end of World War II, Kolberg-Körlin was occupied by the Red Army.

Shortly thereafter, as a result of the Potsdam Agreement, Kolberg-Körlin, along with the rest of the former Prussian lands east of the Oder-Neisse line, became Polish.

[1] On 1 January 1945 the Landkries Kolberg-Körlin comprised the town of Körlin, with approximately 3,400 residents, and about 78 other communities with less than 2,000 inhabitants.
