Widuchowa [viduˈxɔva] (German: Fiddichow) is a village in Gryfino County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-western Poland, close to the German border. It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Widuchowa.[1] It lies approximately 15 kilometres (9 mi) south-west of Gryfino and 35 km (22 mi) south of the regional capital Szczecin.
Before 1945 the area was part of Germany. After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration and ethnically cleansed according to the post-war Potsdam Agreement. The native German populace was expelled and replaced with Poles. For the history of the region, see History of Pomerania.
