Source-derived summary

Podjuchy is a municipal neighborhood of the city of Szczecin, Poland situated on the right bank of the East Oder river, south-east of the Szczecin Old Town, and south-west of Szczecin-Dąbie.

The area became part of the emerging Duchy of Poland under its first ruler Mieszko I around 967, and following Poland's fragmentation in 1138, it formed part of the Duchy of Pomerania.

During the Thirty Years' War, the settlement fell to the Swedish Empire under the suzerainty of the Holy Roman Empire. Later on, it passed to Prussia. From 1871, it was part of Germany until the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II. In 1945, the area was reintegrated into Poland, within which it was known as Podejuch.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “municipal neighborhood of the city of Szczecin, Poland” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7206824. Authority coordinates are 53.366, 14.593. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Critical limits

Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
