gm. Nowy Dwór Gdański, pow. nowodworski, woj. pomorskie

The village was mentioned in 1255 and was granted the Chełmno charter by Werner von Orseln ca. 1315-1324. In 1341, the Grand Commander Rudolf König renewed the charter with 70.5 włókas of land, 10 włókas of forest, and 4 church włókas. The sources from 1376 mentioned a priest. The St. Elizabeth parish church dates from the 14th century. In 1707, the residents erected an octagonal Lutheran church, which burned down in 1826. It was rebuilt in 1827 and taken down after 1945. Initially, the Mennonites from the Lubieszew area belonged to the Flemish community Wielkie Żuławy in Gdańsk, from which the Orłowska community (among others) was formed between 1735 and 1740. Soon afterwards, the local Mennonites erected a house of prayer in the current settlement of Stawiec, which earlier was a part of Lubieszewo, and even established a branch house of prayer in Pordenowa. In 1882, the Lubieszew community merged with the community in Ormowskie Pole. The sources from 1776 mentioned the following surnames: Claassen, Dick, Elias, Ens, Epp, Essau, Fiegeth, Jantzen, Kroecker, Peters, Rigehr, Suckau, Toews, Wieb; Wiens, and Wilms. In 1820, the village had 640 residents, including 97 Mennonites. The 1868 petition from Lubieszew was signed by: Nikolaus Bergen, Jacob and Peter Classen, Kliewer, Joann Quiring, Jakob and Joann Wiebe. In 1868, the village had 150 włókas of land, 66 houses, 288 Catholics, 326 Lutherans, and 114 Mennonites. Jakub Claar, Korneliusz Dyck, and Herman Friesen were mentioned among the richest landowners.
