- Note
- "Szczecinek (Polish pronunciation: [ʂt͡ʂɛˈt͡ɕinɛk] Shche-tsee-nek; German: Neustettin; Kashubian: Nowé Sztetëno) is a historic city in Middle Pomerania, northwestern Poland, with a population of more than 40,000 (2011). Formerly in the Koszalin Voivodeship (1950–1998), it has been the capital of Szczecinek County in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship since 1999. It is an important railroad junction, located along the main Poznań - Kołobrzeg line, which crosses less important lines to Chojnice and Słupsk. The town´s total area is 48.63 square kilometres (18.78 square miles).
The turbulent history of Szczecinek reaches back to the High Middle Ages, when the area was ruled by Pomeranian dukes and princes. The majority of the city´s architecture survived World War II and, subsequently, its entire Old Town was proclaimed a national heritage monument of Poland." - (en.wikipedia.org 02.04.2022) - Latitude
