Through Szczecinek

http://www.ceepackaging.com twitter : @ceepackaging   / 135108923181666     / 173472422695696   I drive through Szczecinek, noting that forestry products seem to be the life blood of the town. Szczecinek was called Neustettin until 1945. It has over 40,000 inhabitants. It is an important railroad junction, located along the main Poznań - Kolobrzeg line, which crosses there with the less important lines to Chojnice, Słupsk and Runowo Pomorskie. Szczecinek lies in eastern part of West Pomeranian Voivodeship. It's located on border of Pojezierze Szczecineckie and Pojezierze Drawskie. Historically, it was included within Western Pomerania. In 2010, city boundaried with following villages located in Gmina Szczecinek: Gałowo, Marcelin, Godzimierz, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, Turowo, Parsęcko, Buczek and Zółtnica. In 1310, the castle and town was founded under Lübeck law by Duke Warcislaw IV of Pomerania-Wolgast and modelled after Szczecin (German: Stettin) which is situated about 150 km to the west. The town was fortified to face the Brandenburgers, with a wall and palisades. In 1356 Neustettin was hit by the plague. On 15 September 1423, the "great day of Neustettin", the Pomeranian dukes, the Hochmeister of the Teutonic Order and Nordic king Eric VII of Denmark met to discuss defence against the union of Brandenburg and Poland. In 1461 Neustettin was sacked, looted and burned by Polish troops and Tatars because King Casimir IV wanted to take revenge on Eric II of Pomerania-Wolgast who supported the Teutonic Knights. At the end of the Thirty Years War Neustettin became part of Brandenburg, and in 1701 under the crown of Prussia. In 1945, the Red Army occupied the town and put it under Polish administration. My channel on you tube :    / alanheath   is one of the most prolific from Poland. I have produced around 1,900 original films. My big interest in life is travel and history but I have also placed films on other subjects Please feel free to ask questions in the public area or to comment on things you disagree with. Sometimes there are mistakes because I speak without preparation. If I see the mistakes myself, I make this clear in the text. Please also leave a star rating! There are a number of films here on the packaging industry. This is because I am the publisher of Central and Eastern European Packaging -- http://www.ceepackaging.com - the international platform for the packaging industry in this region focusing on the latest innovations, trends, design, branding, legislation and environmental issues with in-depth profiles of major industry achievers. Most people may think packaging pretty boring but it possibly effects your life more than you really imagine! Central and Eastern European Packaging examines the packaging industry throughout this region, but in particular in the largest regional economies which are Russia, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine and Austria. That is not to say that the other countries are forgotten, they are not, but obviously there is less going on. However the fact that there are so many travel related films here is not from holidays but from business trips attending trade fairs around the region. Every packaging trade fair is a new excuse to make another film!
