Location and history

Trzebiatów is an old town on the River Rega in western Pomerania, approx. 10 km from the Baltic Sea.
Archaeologists have shown that there was a fortified settlement here as early as the 9th century. In 1277, the city gained market town rights. From 1365 Trzebiatów was a member of the Hanseatic League. The city had its own port at Rega’s mouth in the Baltic Sea and rivaled as a trading town with the nearby Gryfice. The great fires of 1679 and 1747 were devastating for the city, and it never regained its former significance.
