The name

The name Łobez comes from the Old Polish łobuzie (meaning "bushes").

History

In the 12th century Łobez was a Slavic stronghold located within Poland and after the fragmentation of Poland into smaller duchies within the Griffin-ruled Duchy of Pomerania until its dissolution in 1637. Łobez was first mentioned in a document from 1271, according to which a knight named Borko, who was also the Castellan of nearby Kołobrzeg, was the owner of the town. By 1275 Łobez received town rights. A castle was built in the 13th century.

During World War II, the Germans operated two forced labour subcamps of the Stalag II-D prisoner-of-war camp in the town.
