Świecie
Grzymisław's duchy included part of Gdańsk Pomerania with prominent towns of Starogard Gdański and Lubiszewo Tczewskie, as well as Skarszewy.Świecie was granted a municipal form of government by the Teutonic Order, when it was still located on the high west bank of the Vistula.The town prospered due to its location at the intersection of the Amber Road and the trade route connecting Western Pomerania with Warmia, Masuria and Lithuania.[7] During the Second World War, Nazi Germany occupied Świecie and annexed it on 8 October 1939, making it the seat of the Kreis county of Schwetz.[9] People shot were finished off by blows delivered by shovels and the butts of assault rifles; they were buried in mass graves when still alive.Sugar refinery was expanded, meat, cattle feed plants, and mills were built, including the paper factory launched in 1968, with 4,600 employees.
