Church in Śmigiel

In a document from 1438 the place is called Smigel . The area was settled early: burial sites from pagan times have been found in the area of ​​the city. The village, which emerged from a village, is said to have had city rights before 1400. In 1458 the city had to face seven warriors against the Teutonic Knights .

In the 19th century the town of Schmiegel belonged to the Duchess of Sagan v. Acerenza-Pignatelli , b. Princess Biron of Curland .

From 1887 to 1918 Schmiegel was the seat of the Prussian district of Schmiegel in the province of Posen . After the First World War , Schmiegel had to be ceded to the Second Polish Republic due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty .

After the invasion of Poland in 1939 and the illegal annexation by the German Reich until 1945, the city belonged to the administrative district of Kosten in the German occupation area Reichsgau Wartheland , the model district of the expulsion of Poles, re- population and Germanization.

Towards the end of World War II , Schmiegel was liberated by the Red Army in the spring of 1945 . In the following period, the German residents were expelled by the local Polish administrative authorities .
