Chociwel [xɔˈt͡ɕivɛl] (German: Freienwalde in Pommern; Kashubian: Frinwôłd) is a town in Poland, in West Pomeranian Voivodeship, in Stargard County. It has 3,279 inhabitants (2004).
Prior to World War II Chociwel was in Germany and known as Freienwalde. It had a population of 3,406 in 1939. In 1945 it was awarded to Poland, along with the rest of eastern Pomerania, at the insistence of Josef Stalin, and its entire population was expelled. Because of this, the population in 1946 was only 402, all of them Polish newcomers.[1]
