Cedynia is a city in West Pomeranian Voivodship, Poland.
In the German language, it has traditionally been known as Zehden. This name may be falling into disuse over time, though it can still be found in current use in Germany in some cases.
History
In 972 Cedynia (its name was then spelled Cydzyna) was the site of the first historically recorded battle of Poland, in which Polish duke Mieszko I and his brother Czcibor defeated Hodon, the German margrave of Lusatia. Information about this battle is found in the Gall Anonim Chronicle and the Thietmar Chronicle. In the city there is a monument erected after World War II.
