Drawsko Pomorskie

Drawsko Pomorskie is a city in Drawsko County in West Pomeranian Voivodeship in northwestern Poland, the administrative seat of Drawsko County and the city-rural commune of Gmina Drawsko Pomorskie. As of 2013, the metropolis has 11,878 inhabitants. From the 7^th century onwards Slavic tribes settled along the seashores of the Drawa River, in which they erected a citadel a few kilometers north of Lake Lubie.

In the 10^th century the area changed into beneath the sovereignty of the Piast duke Mieszko I of Poland; but, the in moderation inhabited border place throughout the fragmentation of Poland became also claimed via the Dukes of Pomerania, and later also by means of the powerful Ascanian margraves John I and Otto III, who in 1257 had based the metropolis of Landsberg at the Notec River as centre in their New March estates.

At that point, the citadel of Drawsko had been held by Duke Przemysl I of Greater Poland, however after his death the agreement became also acquired by the Margraves of Brandenburg. They invited Premonstratensian clergymen from Belbuck Abbey close to Trzebiatow to located a monastery of their new territory. These plans failed, however, as the favored place changed into too some distance from Belbuck and the monks noticed the desert as mistaken.
