Luzino [luˈʑinɔ] is a village in Wejherowo County, Pomeranian Voivodeship, in northern Poland. It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Luzino. [1] It lies approximately 11 kilometres (7 mi) south-west of Wejherowo and 41 km (25 mi) north-west of the regional capital Gdańsk. It is located in the ethnocultural region of Kashubia in the historic region of Pomerania.

History

Luzino was a private church village of the monastery in Żukowo, administratively located in the Puck County in the Pomeranian Voivodeship of the Kingdom of Poland. [2] It was annexed by Prussia in the First Partition of Poland in 1772. Following World War I, Poland regained independence and control of the village.

During the German occupation of Poland ( World War II), the occupiers carried out executions of several Poles in the village, as part of the Intelligenzaktion. [3] The local Polish school principal was murdered in November 1939 during the massacres in Piaśnica. [4] In 1940, the occupiers also carried out expulsions of Poles, who were transported to a temporary transit camp in Kartuzy and then deported to the General Government in the more eastern part of German-occupied Poland, while their houses and farms were handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy. [5] In 1942, the Germans renamed the village to Freienau, and in 1943 to Lintzau. The German occupation ended in 1945, and the historic name was restored.
