History
The historic town was established in 1202 on the eastern banks of the Bóbr as the seat of a Castellan of Lower Silesia. The Piast duke Henry I the Bearded established a college of Augustinian canons here in 1217. From 1274 Nowogród Bobrzański was part of the Silesian Duchy of Żagań. It received city rights in 1314. It was consumed by fire and destroyed by plagues in 1350, 1479 and 1723. In 1827 mineral springs were discovered and many tourists began to arrive.
Naumburg am Bober was the seat of the firm Ostdeutsche Tiefbau GmbH ("East German Civil Engineering, Inc."), which was one of the contractors responsible for razing the Warsaw Ghetto. Nowogród lost its city rights in 1945 following World War II due to depopulation, and again acquired them in 1988 by the merger with the adjacent Lower Lusatian town of Krzystkowice (Christianstadt), the site of the Nazi German subcamp of Gross Rosen with an estimated number of 40,000 Polish and other victims. After World War II the town became part of Poland following the post-war Potsdam Agreement.
