'''Stettin''' is an ancient German city, the capital of their Province of [[Pomerania]], since 1945 occupied by [[Poland]].
==History==
[[File:Germany Pomerania Stettin, Hakenterrasse & kgl. Regierungs-Gebäude.jpg|300px|thumb|right|At Stettin.]]

In 1143, a large army under Albert 'The Bear', Margrave of Brandenburg, and Conrad of Meissen, advanced on Stettin castle and persuaded Duke Ratibor of Pomerania to accept Christianity,<ref>Fuhrmann, Horst, ''Germany in the High Middle Ages c1050-1200'', Cambridge University Press UK, English edition, 1986, p.141, ISBN: 0-521-26638-6.</ref> and this Duke subsequently took part in the crusade against the [[Wends]] four years later. The Dukes of Pomerania fell under the [[Holy Roman Emperor]] as their overlord. This family became extinct in 1637, and Pomerania passed to [[Sweden]] from 1648 to 1720, thereafter to [[Prussia]]. It was considered a bulwark to the Marches of Brandenburg and about 1815 the fortifications were greatly improved.<ref>''Encyclopaedia Britannica'', Fifth edition, Edinburgh, 1815, vol.xix, p.700.</ref> It was already busy commercially and became also a manufacturing town of great importance (shipbuilding, machinery, chemicals, sugar, paper, cement, porcelain, oil refining, etc.), situated on both banks of the river Oder, the principal part being on the left bank. The Oder at Stettin was sufficiently deep (20 feet) for vessels of substantial size. On the right bank of the Oder is the ''Free Harbour'', 150 acres in extent, constructed between 1893 and 1898. In 1904 the city had 210,000 inhabitants.<ref>Baedeker, Karl, ''Northern Germany'', 14th revised edition, Leipzig & London, 1904, p.157.</ref> The population in 1935 was 254,466.<ref>Odhams ''New Pictorial Atlas of the World'' with Gazetteer, Odham's Press Ltd., London, 1935, p.286.</ref>

Stettin was the birthplace of the [[German noblewoman]] and future Empress of [[Russian Empire|Russia]], [[Catherine the Great]], Catherine being an adopted name, she being born as Princess Sophie Friederike Auguste von Anhalt-Zerbst-Dornburg. It was also the birthplace of the famous German actor, Heinrich George (1893-1946).
===WWII===
At the end of [[World War II]] Stettin fell into the Soviet Occupation Zone of Germany as set forth by the victorious Allies. The Soviets, however, illegally awarded Pomerania, and Stettin, to their [[Communist]] puppet state of [[Poland]]. The Red Army and illegal Polish Communist Militias, brutally expelled the entire population of the city<ref>''The Expulsion of the German Population from the Territories East of the Oder-Neisse-Line'', editor, Professor Theodor Schieder, University of Koln, et al, with translations by Professor Dr. Vivian Stranders, M.A., University of London, FDR Ministry for Expellees, Refugees and War Victims, Bonn, 1954.</ref> and replaced them with Polish settlers.
