Szczecin (pronounce: [[Media:Szczecin.ogg|['ʃʧεtɕin] ]], German_language ''Stettin'') is the 7th largest city in Poland and the second largest Polish seaport on the Baltic Sea. It is also the capital of the West Pomeranian Voivodship. There are 419,000 inhabitants in Szczecin (as of 2004).
Szczecin is situated in the north-west corner of Poland, on both banks of the Oder River, close to Baltic Sea and the Germany border. The city is situated to the south of and around the greater bay into which the Oder river flows. The Western side is commonly called the Left Bank ''(Lewobrzeże),'' and the Eastern side the Right Bank ''(Prawobrzeże).'' Between them is an archipelago with many islands (mainly industrial areas with shipyards and sea-port infrastructure).
== City name ==
Early medieval sources show: ''Stetin'' 1133, ''Stetyn'' 1188, ''Priznoborus vir nobilis in Stetin, Symon nobilis Stettinensis'' 1234, ''in vico Stetin'' 1240, ''Barnim Dei gratia dux Pomeranorum... civitati nostri Stetin'' 1243, ''Stityn'' 1251, ''Sigillum Burgoncium de Stitin'' municipal seal of the 13th century, which is the same to the modern Polish spelling of Szczecin. The name is almost certainly of the same origin as others Polish names such as Szczytno, Szczucin and Szczuczyn. In Latin, the city was known as ''Stetinum''.
There are several possible etymologies of the city name:
# Szczecin comes from the word ''szczyt'' which means ''peak, hill top'' in modern Polish, but also a long shield in Old Polish. So Szczecin means a town located on a hill top, or a town fortified as a stronghold.
# Szczecin comes from a personal name Szczuka and means Szczuka's town
# Szczecin comes from a personal name Szczeta/Szczota and means Szczota's town
# Szczecin comes from a word ''szczecina'' which means ''bristle''. So Szczecin is a town with many swines, or a town fortified like bristle. If this is true Szczecin could be identified with Burstaborg mentioned in the Scandinavian chronicles.
Because in 1310 duke Warcislaw IV has founded a new city called ''New Szczecin'' and today Szczecinek modelled after the Szczecin municipality, the original Szczecin was sometimes called the ''Old Szczecin'' (Latin: ''Stetinum Antiqua'', Polish language: ''Stary Szczecin'', German language: ''Alten Stettin.'')
In the 16th century Polish literature used two alternative spellings: ''Szczecin'' (seems to be the exact pronunciation of the city name used by its Slavonic inhabitants, previously spelled in Latin as ''Stetin'' since the 12th century) and ''Sztetyn'' (seems to be a copy of the German pronunciation). The first form of Szczecin prevailed in the following years and was officially confirmed in the 19th century, long before the city was again in Polish hands.
Prior to 1945, the city, inhabited almost entirely by Germans from late Medieval times, was known internationally and locally as ''Stettin'', its German name.

''Full article: History of Szczecin''
=== Historical summary ===
A stronghold of the Lusatian culture was here in the early Iron Age period. Another stronghold of the Pomeranians was built in the 8th century at the ford of the Oder river. The city was already a flourishing trading centre with 10,000 inhabitants when it was subjugated and baptized by Boleslaus III of Poland. A medieval municipality was granted autonomy in 1243. Till the 1630s Stettin was the capital of the Duchy of Pomerania ruled by the Slavic peoples Griffin dynasty, of Slavic peoples origins. After their extinction Stettin, along with the rest of western Pomerania, was granted to Sweden at the Peace of Westphalia, despite the protests of the Elector of Brandenburg, who had a legal claim to inherit all of Pomerania. After the Great Northern War, in 1720, the Swedes were forced to cede the city to the Brandenburg elector Frederick William I of Prussia, by now King of Prussia. Stettin remained in Prussia (and thus, after 1871 in Germany) until 1945, when the Red Army captured the city and gave it to Poland. The city's German inhabitants either escaped or were transferred to Germany, and the city was colonized with Poles, mainly from Poznan area. The city, now known as Szczecin, was rebuilt and made a major industrial centre, the capital of Szczecin Voivodship. It witnessed anti-communist revols in 1970 and 1980 adding its share to the birth of Solidarity movement. Since 1999 Szczecin has been the capital of Western Pomeranian Voivodship.

In many areas build after 1945 Social realism is prevalent. Urban planning of Szczecin is unusual. The first thing observed by a newcomer is abundance of green areas: parks and avenues – wide streets with trees planted in the island separating opposite traffic (where often tram tracks are laid); and Roundabout intersection. This makes Szczecin's city project quite similar to that of Paris. The reason is, Szczecin (like Paris) was rebuild in 1880s using a design by Baron Haussmann. This course of designing streets in Szczecin is still used, as many recently built (or modified) city areas include roundabouts and avenues. == Politics and Administration == === Municipal politics === Szczecin is governed by city council and mayor. Mayor (''prezydent miasta''), as well as council, is elected by city's citizens every four years. Marian Jurczyk, Solidarity icon, is Szczecin's mayor. His achievements are however widely criticised and he is blamed for over 10 millions zlotys compensations which city must pay for canceling the land selling deal, his lack of formal education, and his apparent cluelessness in many important matters. Mr Jurczyk famous errors includes forgetting the name of his own deputy he just nominated or quoting Jesus in his speech to the council. Because of this criticism recall voices of recall were raised. On 23 March 2004 necessary 32 000 signatures were received by Recall Committee. Recall referendum took place on 23 May 2004. However the necessary 30% turnout wasn't reached as only 19% of voters cast their ballots. An overwhelming majority of those voting (92%), supported mayor's recall. This means that current political situation is quite difficult. === Municipal administration === Szczecin is divided into the auxiliary local government districts called ''neighbourhood councils'' (''rady osiedla''). Those districts elect their own councils and are responsible mainly for small infrastructure like trees, park benches, playgrounds, etc. Other functions are mostly advisory.

:::Yep. Thanks. User:Teucer
Please, whoever is fiddling with this entry, get real and refrain from saying that the then-wholly and totally German city of Stettin was "liberated" by the Red Army. The Germans DREADED the approach of the Red Army, with good reason -- both in terms of what the German Army and SS, etc., had done in the Soviet Union, and the revenge the Red Army already was exacting for those atrocities in eastern Germany.
Stettin, Germany (today: Szczecin, Poland) was no more "liberated" by the Red Army than Warsaw was "liberated" by the German Army. Both were conquered, with dire results for their inhabitants. Such were the savage and retributive dynamics of WWII in the east.
You can say Warsaw was "liberated" by the Red Army, though some might challenge that; but no German city, particularly those east of the postwar Oder-Neisse border, was "liberated." Need we mention that ALL of old Stettin's inhabitants were either killed or expelled? Is that "liberating"? Give me a break!
User:Sca 01:07, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
== User Sca's changes ==
Please do not start a revert war about Szczecin. The language you are using is quite POV and really against the very neutral tone of the whole article. "Repatriated" is a much better word to describe what has happened after the war to the German people living in Stettin and sure "conquered" to describe Red Army’s liberation of the city is too strong a word. I will not revert the article to its former version yet, if you don’t agree with my wording please suggest what you would consider to be appropriate but please note I do not agree with the current version.
:Conquered is the neutral word here, before it was German, afterwards it was Russian, the process used force. And: ''conquer: to gain or acquire by force of arms''. Liberate, on the other hand, implies that the city was grateful for the russian advance, which is simply not true. -- User:Chris 73 User talk:Chris 73 04:23, Feb 7, 2005 (UTC)
::I'm sure that the Russian forces were grateful that they have taken the city. Anyway "conquer: take possession of without permission or take with force, as after a conquest or invasion" - it was neither a conquest nor an invasion. What about the following "[...]until 1945, when it has fallen to the Red Army and became a part of Poland". BTW - I don't think there is a need to say it has fallen/been captured/conquered at all, a better way to say would be "until 1945 when the Nazi Germany was defeated and it became a part of Poland".--User:Roo72 04:35, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
== Gdansk/Vote and this page ==
Correct me if I am wrong, but it seems that according to Talk:Gdansk/Vote/Notice we should have the Szczecin (''Stettin'') in the header, don't we? User:Przepla 21:06, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
:Correct. I added the ''(Stettin)'' to the first occurrence of the name. -- User:Chris 73 User talk:Chris 73 23:06, Mar 6, 2005 (UTC)
::Looks like someone changed it again, because it's not that way right now. Szczecin (German_language: ''Stettin'') seems ideal to me. User:Olessi 05:30, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

In many areas build after 1945 Social realism is prevalent. Urban planning of Szczecin is unusual. The first thing observed by a newcomer is abundance of green areas: parks and avenues – wide streets with trees planted in the island separating opposite traffic (where often tram tracks are laid); and Roundabout intersection. This makes Szczecin's city project quite similar to that of Paris. The reason is, Szczecin (like Paris) was rebuild in 1880s using a design by Baron Haussmann. This course of designing streets in Szczecin is still used, as many recently built (or modified) city areas include roundabouts and avenues. == Politics and Administration == === Municipal politics === Szczecin is governed by city council and mayor. Mayor (''prezydent miasta''), as well as council, is elected by city's citizens every four years. Marian Jurczyk, Solidarity icon, is Szczecin's mayor. His achievements are however widely criticised and he is blamed for over 10 millions zlotys compensations which city must pay for canceling the land selling deal, his lack of formal education, and his apparent cluelessness in many important matters. Mr Jurczyk famous errors includes forgetting the name of his own deputy he just nominated or quoting Jesus in his speech to the council. Because of this criticism recall voices of recall were raised. On 23 March 2004 necessary 32 000 signatures were received by Recall Committee. Recall referendum took place on 23 May 2004. However the necessary 30% turnout wasn't reached as only 19% of voters cast their ballots. An overwhelming majority of those voting (92%), supported mayor's recall. This means that current political situation is quite difficult. === Municipal administration === Szczecin is divided into the auxiliary local government districts called ''neighbourhood councils'' (''rady osiedla''). Those districts elect their own councils and are responsible mainly for small infrastructure like trees, park benches, playgrounds, etc. Other functions are mostly advisory.

I notice no discussion of this stuff on the talk page. Good work guys. User:John Kenney User_talk:John Kenney 02:44, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC) John, I agree with the protection, and it should also happen to the articles for Gdansk, Poznan, Wroclaw and any other simalar articles where this edit war occurs. But rather than hashing it out repetitively on each Talk page, can we do so on a single page and develop a standard? Perhaps the Wikipedia:WikiProject Cities is the best place? User:Bwood 03:30, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC) There's been much discussion of this before. We never seem to be able to work anything out. But, yes, I think that would be the best way to handle this. User:John Kenney User_talk:John Kenney 04:50, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC) :OK, I'll start a section at Wikipedia:WikiProject Cities tomorrow. Something like "Standard treatment of name issues of Polish towns with significant German histories", perhaps. It should also apply to those towns that were occupied by Austria and Russia, as well as other places that I'm less familiar with. User:Bwood 06:14, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC) Don't deal with it separately from "Standard treatment of towns with significant Polish history" like Hrodna, Vilnius, Lviv, Kiev etc. Otherwise we will have a problem again. We will please the Poles, but upset Ukrainians, Lithuanians and Belaruses, or the other way around. User:Space Cadet 06:30, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC) Are you saying to make it more general? or less general? If more general, then something like "Standard treatment of name issues of towns with significant histories of occupation by neighboring states"? Or should it be even more general? User:Bwood 06:43, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC) Very good question. And to make it even harder: Szczecin was never under German, and Hrodna, Vlnius, Lviv, Kiev under Polish "occupation". User:Space Cadet 07:00, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC) :Yup, making it more general would be a good idea. We should avoid double standards. User:Halibutt
--User:Ruhrjung 20:08, 2004 Sep 29 (UTC) When is this page going to be unprotected?

Image:Szczecin_urzadmiejski.jpg == New infobox == I'm preparing a new set of infoboxes for all the Polish cities.
