Dobrzyń Land

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dobrzyń Land (Polish: ziemia dobrzyńska; German: Dobriner Land) is the territory surrounding Dobrzyń nad Wisłą in Poland. The land is on the eastern shore of the Vistula River and ends south of the Drwęca at Chełmno Land. The land is approximately composed of the powiats of Lipno and Rypin within the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodship.

The Order of Dobrzyń received the territory as a base in 1228 and was later absorbed into the Teutonic Knights. The territory was relinquished to the Kingdom of Poland in the Treaty of Kalisz of 1343.
