History

Lubraniec was the ancestral seat of the Lubrański noble family.[3] Lubraniec was granted town rights in 1509[4] by King Sigismund I the Old.[3] It was a private town,[3] administratively located in the Brześć Kujawski County in the Brześć Kujawski Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland.[5] After the Lubrański family became extinct, the town passed to the Dąbski family.[3] Paweł Dąbski, castellan of Brześć Kujawski, granted various privileges to local Jews, confirmed in 1780 by King Stanisław August Poniatowski.[3]
Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the village was occupied by Germany until 1945. In 1941, the occupiers carried out expulsions of 300 Poles, who were deported to forced labour in Germany, while their houses were handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy.[6]
