Graniczna Wieś is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Trąbki Wielkie, within Gdańsk County, Pomeranian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 6km (04miles) west of Trąbki Wielkie, 170NaN0 south-west of Pruszcz Gdański, and 260NaN0 south-west of the regional capital Gdańsk.
The name of the village means "boundary village".
During the Second World War, in 1939–1941, Graniczna Wieś was the site of the Grenzdorf subcamp of the Stutthof concentration camp, in which the Germans subjected hundreds of people to forced labour.[2] Many Poles from Gdańsk died in the subcamp.[2]
