Darłowo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Darłowo (in full The Royal City of Darłowo: Polish: Królewskie Miasto Darłowo, German: Rügenwalde, Kashubian/Pomeranian: Dirlowò) is a town at the south coast of the Baltic Sea in Middle Pomerania, north-western Poland with approximately 15,000 inhabitants. Located in Slawno County in West Pomeranian Voivodeship since 1999, it was previously a town in Koszalin Voivodeship (1950–1998).
Rügenwalde (now Darlowo) is located at a site, documented many centuries ago as Rugium, a town in Germania Magna of the Germanic tribe of Rugians.
The German name Rügenwalde was best known in Germany for the production of the Rügenwalder Teewurst in the town; after World War II the production was restarted in West Germany under the old name, as the entire pre-1945 population of Rügenwalde was expelled from the town after the Polish annexation of Western Pomerania.
