Trzebiatów - Rynek

The area at the river Rega was the site of a Wendish settlement in the 9th century. After the Pomeranian rulers had invited German settlers Trzebiatów (= Treptow) obtained town rights in 1277. In 1416, the town became part of the Hanseatic League, then served as a trade post and developed architecturally, with a typical Brick Gothic-style influence. From 1648 the town was part of Brandenburg-Prussia, the later Kingdom of Prussia.

In 1504, Johannes Bugenhagen moved to the town and became Rector of the local school. In December 1534 a diet was assembled here, where the Dukes Barnim XI and Philip I as well as the nobility officially introduced Lutheranism to Pomerania, against the vote of the Prince-Bishop of Cammin. In the following month Bugenhagen drafted the new church order, founding the Pomeranian Lutheran church.

Most of the houses on the market date back to the 17th and 18th centuries. In the backdrop is the tower of the St. Mary´s Church "Kościół Macierzyństwa Najświętszej Marii Panny".
