**Lisewo** /lisewo/ is a [village](/source/Village) in the [Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship](/source/Kuyavian-Pomeranian_Voivodeship) in north-central Poland. The village is the seat of [Gmina Lisewo](/source/Gmina_Lisewo), a part of [Chełmno County](/source/Che%C5%82mno_County).

## History

The oldest known mention of the village comes from 1293.

During the [German occupation](/source/Occupation_of_Poland_(1939%E2%80%931945)) ([World War II](/source/World_War_II)), Lisewo was one of the sites of executions of [Poles](/source/Polish_people), carried out by the Germans in 1939 as part of the *[Intelligenzaktion](/source/Intelligenzaktion)*.[1] Local Polish teachers were murdered by the Germans in a massacre of Poles committed in nearby [Klamry](/source/Klamry), also as part of the *Intelligenzaktion*.[2]

## The village and the municipality

From an administrative point of view, Lisewo is a [community](/source/Community).

After [World War II](/source/World_War_II) in February 1945, the voivodship of Pomorskie was restored. Its seat was first of all situated in [Toruń](/source/Toru%C5%84) and then in April moved to [Bydgoszcz](/source/Bydgoszcz). At the same time the district of [Chełmno](/source/Che%C5%82mno) was segregated into new divisions and communities.

This state was kept until 1954, when further districts were divided into smaller units. [Krusin](/source/Krusin) and Lisewo both were counted to these small units. The next territorial-administrative reform of the voivodship of Bydgoszcz occurred in 1973. Communities were reintroduced and rural units deleted. Lisewo regained its status of a community. In 1975, the [Toruń Voivodeship](/source/Toru%C5%84_Voivodeship) was founded, and Lisewo was one of the 49 municipalities belonging to it.

The village itself occurs in the oldest known documents under the name of Lissow in 1293, Lissaw/Lysaw in 1408 and Leysaw, Leissan, Lysow, Lissowo in 1530.

## Sports
