Lipusz was a royal village of the Polish Crown, administratively located in the Tczew County in the Pomeranian Voivodeship.[2]

During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), in 1939, the Germans carried out a massacre of 20 Poles from Lipusz, including railwaymen, farmers, millers, a secretary of the local forestry, a teacher and a postman, in the nearby forest (see Intelligenzaktion).[3] Families of the victims were expelled.[4] Some Poles from Lipusz were also murdered in the forest near Skarszewy,[5] and further expulsions of Poles were carried out in 1943 and 1944.[6] The expellees were either deported to forced labour or to the General Government.[6]
