 Braniewo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Located on the Pasłęka River, about five km from the Vistula Lagoon, Braniewo lies about halfway between Gdańsk and the Russian city of Kaliningrad.
During the conquest and Christianization of Prussia, the Teutonic Knights conquered an Old Prussian settlement named Brusebergue in 1240 and built a new town atop it on the Passarge (Pasłęka) River.
The German inhabitants of the city were either evacuated before the Soviet army arrived, killed during the fighting, or expelled to Germany after the war.
