Drzetowo is a historical neighbourhood of the city of Szczecin, Poland.[1] It was merged with another historical neighbourhood (Grabowo) and has formed present Drzetowo-Grabowo neighbourhood.
The area became part of the Polish state under its first ruler Mieszko I around 967,[2] [3] and following Poland's fragmentation it formed part of the Duchy of Pomerania. During the Thirty Years' War, the area fell to the Swedish Empire. Later on, it passed to Prussia, and from 1871 to 1945 it was part of Germany, within which it was known as Stettin-Bredow,[1] or just Bredow.[4] Historically, when part of Germany, the Vulcan iron-works and shipbuilding yards were located here.[4] The liners “Deutschland” (1900), the “Kaiserin Augusta Victoria” (1906), and the “George Washington” (1908), then the largest vessel — 722feet long, 27,000 tons — in the German mercantile marine, were built.[4] There were also sugar, cement and other factories.[4] Under Nazi Germany, in 1933, a concentration camp was established in the district.[5]
