History

Luszkowo was a royal village of the Kingdom of Poland, administratively located in the Świecie County in the Pomeranian Voivodeship .[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]
