Stębark, Medieval settlement in Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, Poland

Stębark is a village in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship in northern Poland, located within Gmina Grunwald. The area displays typical Masurian landscapes with rolling hills and sits near the historic battlefield.

The village was first recorded as Tannenberge in 1335 and originally belonged to the Teutonic Order's state. After the 1410 battle, the region came under Polish rule and later experienced another major military event in 1914.

The village is connected to the nearby battlefield museum, which draws visitors interested in medieval warfare and regional history. Local identity is shaped by these historical events, which remain present in the consciousness of the area.

The village sits in a rural area best reached by car, as public transportation is limited. The nearby battlefield museum serves as a good starting point for exploring the region's historic sites.

The place witnessed two major battles separated by centuries: medieval cavalry forces in 1410 and modern armies in 1914. This double historical legacy makes the area a location where two completely different forms of warfare intersected.
