background

Map of Zbąszynek

As a result of the Versailles Peace Treaty, a new German-Polish border was drawn from January 1920, so that Bentschen as Zbąszyń Became part of the Second Polish Republic. At the Frankfurt (Oder) –Poznań railway line the new station Neu Bentschen was built on the German side as a border station and new junction for the three lines leading from the west to Zbąszyń. The freight station was put into operation in 1925, the passenger station in 1930. Since there was no larger place in the vicinity in which sufficient living space could have been created for the station staff, the Deutsche Reichsbahn built a separate railway settlement. The architect was Wilhelm Beringer, Head of Building Construction of the East German Railway Directorate, who was also responsible for the station buildings. The settlement is kept in the native style of the 1920s, but also has features of the expressionism. In addition to the railway, a customs office and a post office were also set up. Apartments were also required for their employees. The settlement eventually comprised 310 apartments for railway workers, 60 for customs, 13 for border police and 12 for the post office.[1] The Reichsbahn also built six commercial buildings, an inn, a school, the cemetery and a Protestant and a Catholic church. They also had to build buildings for the municipal administration, including a fire station, a library and the municipal administration itself. The dominance of the railway was also evident in the street names, which were named after Prussian and German railway officials and ministers such as Karl von Thielen or Rudolf Oeser. In 1933 Neu Bentschen had a good 1,800 inhabitants.[2]

During the Second World War there were two forced labor camps here. After World War II it was New Bentschen then by the westward shift of the border part of Poland and received the name Zbąszynek, a diminutive of the name Zbąszyń. Also in 1945 the place received city rights. Due to an administrative reform, the place came in 1975 to the Zielona Góra Voivodeship. With another reform at the end of 1998, the place became part of the voivodeship Lebus.
