Bagniewo is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Pruszcz, within Świecie County, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-central Poland.[1] It lies approximately 5km (03miles) north-east of Pruszcz, 140NaN0 south-west of Świecie, 320NaN0 north-east of Bydgoszcz, and 440NaN0 north-west of Toruń.
Bagniewo was a private village of Polish nobility, including the Bagniewski family of Bawola Głowa coat of arms, administratively located in the Świecie County in the Pomeranian Voivodeship of the Kingdom of Poland.[2]
Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the village was occupied by Germany until 1945. In October 1941, the occupiers carried out expulsions of Poles, who were deported to a transit camp in, Bydgoszcz, while their houses were handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy.[3]
