Was Świnoujście originally part of Germany?

  • Yes

  • No

  • It was always independent

  • It was part of Russia

Answer

Yes, Świnoujście was originally part of Germany until the end of World War II. Following the Potsdam Agreement and subsequent border changes, the city became part of Poland in 1945, along with most of the former German territories east of the Oder-Neisse line. This transfer of territory marked a significant shift in the region's geopolitical landscape and resulted in the displacement of its predominantly German population.
