Klęskowo (formerly German: Hökendorf) is a part of the city of Szczecin, Poland situated on the right bank of Oder river, east of the Szczecin Old Town, and south of Szczecin-Dąbie.
The village was founded by Germans. In 1274, knight Jacob von Staffelde sold the place to the Abbey Kolbatz], which settled German peasants.
Having been part of German states since the Middle Ages, it fell to Poland in 1945. The Communist rulers expelled all German inhabitants.
