Kaliningrad is a city in today's Russia. It is located in the Kaliningrad oblast, a Russian exclave between Lithuania and Poland. Kaliningrad, formerly Königsberg, belonged to Prussia for several centuries and was the northeasternmost major city.
Pomerania is a region in northeastern Germany (Vorpommern) and northwestern Poland (Hinterpommern/Pomorze Tylne). The name is derived from the West Slavic 'by the sea' - 'po more/morze'. After the Thirty Years' War (Peace of Westphalia in 1648), Western Pomerania initially became Swedish, and Western Pomerania fell to Brandenburg, which was able to acquire further parts of Western Pomerania in 1720. It was not until 1815 that the entire region belonged to the Kingdom of Prussia as the Province of Pomerania. The province existed until the end of World War II, its capital was Szczecin (today Polish: Stettin).
Świnoujście (population 2023: 38,904) is a district-free city in the far north-west of Poland, directly on the border with Germany. It is located on the Baltic coast of the historic landscape of Pomerania. The city area is spread over a total of 44 islands, with the city center in the eastern part of Usedom at the mouth of the Swine estuary. Świnoujście is a relatively young town which was established in connection with clearing the Swine for navigation after the Northern War (1700-1721), when Sweden ceded the islands of Usedom and Wollin, which it had occupied since 1630, to Prussia for a large amount of money. As the previously most important Baltic ports remained in Swedish hands, Prussia decided to build a new port on the Swine in 1729. After initial technical difficulties, the port was finally completed in 1746, and in 1763 the port settlement was granted city rights. The town's port facilities were soon expanded and soon became important not only for trade, but also for the military and as a passenger port. During the Second World War, the submarine fleet of the German Wehrmacht was stationed on the island of Kaseburg (Karsibór). This site and other areas in the city remained then under Soviet military administration until 1957 while the other territories were handed over to the Polish civil administration on October 6, 1945. At present, Świnoujście is one of the most important Polish ports. Tourism is another important source of income for the officially acknowledged spa and seaside resort.
