Czarże is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Dąbrowa Chełmińska, within Bydgoszcz County, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-central Poland.[1] It lies 4km (02miles) north of Dąbrowa Chełmińska, 230NaN0 north-east of Bydgoszcz, and 300NaN0 north-west of Toruń. It is located in the Chełmno Land in the historic region of Pomerania.

History

The oldest known mention of the village comes from a document of Duke Konrad I of Masovia from 1222.

During the German occupation (World War II), in 1939, local Polish teachers were murdered by the Germans in a massacre of Poles committed in nearby Klamry as part of the Intelligenzaktion.[2] In October 1940, the occupiers also carried out expulsions of Poles, whose farms were then handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy.[3]
