History of Golub

The village Golub (German: Gollub; Latin: villa golube), populated by Poles, was first mentioned in a document from 1258. It is located in Chełmno Land (Culmerland), and since 1231 it had been in the hands of the Teutonic Knights (Krzyżacy). The Teutonic Knights built a castle (Zamek Krzyżacki, 1296–1306) and elevated it to town status.
In 1421 all privileges of the town were confirmed by Grand Master, Michael Küchmeister von Sternberg.
Golub was severely damaged during wars in 1414 and 1422; the latter war called the Gollub War. In 1466 the town became part of Poland according to the Second Peace of Thorn.
The height of prosperity of Golub was reached during the rule of King Sigismund III Vasa 1611-25.
The town was severely damaged during Polish-Swedish Wars, especially in 1626-29, 1655, and 1660, as well as the later Seven Years’ War (1756–63).
In 1772, in the First Partition of Poland, Golub was annexed by the Kingdom of Prussia.
From 1807-15 it belonged to the Duchy of Warsaw.
It was assigned to the Duchy of Poznan in 1815, and in 1817 it was included in West Prussia.
In 1871 it was included in Imperial Germany and was subject to Germanisation.
In January 1920 it became part of Poland. In August 1920, the Red Army attacked the city.
In 1939 it was annexed by Nazi Germany and most of dwellers were forced to sign the Volksliste.
On May 5, 1951 Golub was united with the city Dobrzyń located south of the Drwęca in the Dobrzyń Land, and now it is called Golub-Dobrzyń.
