Kołbaskowo [kɔu̯basˈkɔvɔ] (formerly German: Kolbitzow, (historically): Colbitzow) is a village in Police County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-western Poland, close to the German border. It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Kołbaskowo.[1] It lies approximately 24 kilometres (15 mi) south of Police and 14 km (9 mi) south-west of the regional capital Szczecin. As of 2006 the village has a population of 410.

The motorway at Kołbaskowo is the site of a major Schengen border crossing on the European route E28 connecting Berlin (Germany) with Szczecin and Gdańsk. The neighbouring village on the German side of the border is Pomellen, part of the Nadrensee municipality.

History

The oldest known mention of the village comes from 1243, when Duke Barnim I granted the local tithe to the Cistercian women monastery in Szczecin.[2] The village was eventually granted to the Cistercian nuns in 1286.[2] Its name comes from the male name Kołbasek, which in turn comes from the Polish word kiełbaska.[2] Since the Middle Ages the area was part of Poland, the Duchy of Pomerania following Poland's fragmentation, Sweden, Prussia and Germany, before it became part of Poland again following the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II in 1945.

Heritage monument

The most precious historic landmark of the village is the Romanesque Holy Trinity church with Gothic and Baroque interior, which was built in the 13th century with granite.
