Więzowno [vjɛ̃ˈzɔvnɔ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Koronowo, within Bydgoszcz County, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-central Poland. [1] It lies 4 kilometres (2 mi) south-west of Koronowo and 22 km (14 mi) north of Bydgoszcz.
During the German occupation of Poland ( World War II), in 1941, the occupiers carried out expulsions of Poles, whose farms were then handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy. [2] Expelled Poles were placed in a transit camp in Toruń, and then deported either to the Warsaw District of the General Government in German-occupied central Poland or to forced labour in Germany.
