Gulbiny

1

Gulbiny is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Brzuze, within Rypin County, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-central Poland. It lies approximately 10 km west of Rypin and 47 km east of Toruń. It is situated on the shore of Długie Lake.

History

In 1824 and 1825, the village was visited by Fryderyk Chopin. In 1827, Gulbiny had a population of 231. During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), in 1941, the German gendarmerie, Einsatzkompanie Thorn and Einsatzkompanie Gotenhafen carried out expulsions of Poles, whose houses and farms were then handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy. Expelled Poles were placed in the Potulice concentration camp and then either enslaved as forced labour of new German colonists in the county or deported to the General Government in the more eastern part of German-occupied Poland.
