Przybranowo is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Aleksandrów Kujawski, within Aleksandrów County, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-central Poland.[1] It lies approximately 5km (03miles) south-west of Aleksandrów Kujawski and 230NaN0 south of Toruń. It is located in the region of Kuyavia.

History

In 1827, the village had a population of 168.[2]

Several Poles from Przybranowo were among the victims of a massacre committed by German troops in nearby Koneck during the German invasion of Poland at the start of World War II in September 1939 (see also: Nazi crimes against the Polish nation).[3] During the subsequent German occupation, in 1939–1940, the occupiers carried out expulsions of Poles, whose farms were then handed over to Germans as part of the Lebensraum policy.[4] Expelled Poles were either deported to the General Government in the more eastern part of German-occupied Poland or enslaved as forced labour of German colonists in the area.[4]
