history
Between 1231 and 1239, the Duke of Greater Poland , Władysław Odon , brought Cistercians from Lusatia into the country and gave them land on the Obra for reclamation. When the area became part of the Mark Brandenburg at the beginning of the 14th century , Margrave Waldemar donated the village of Blesowe and its surroundings to the Semmritz monastery.
In 1326 Blesen came back to Greater Poland . King Casimir Jagiellonicus granted the place Magdeburg city rights in 1458 . In a privilege granted by King Johann I Albrecht on November 21, 1493 , the name of the town is Bledzewo alias Szombritz . The city rights were confirmed to the abbot media city several times in the years 1565, 1619 and 1767.
The German-speaking city of Blesen had a regular rectangular floor plan and had two oversized marketplaces, but no city fortifications. The residents made their living from cloth-making, brewing, handicrafts and fruit growing.
After the Cistercian monastery Semmritz had relocated more and more to Blesen since the beginning of the 15th century, the monastery building in Semmritz was given up in 1578.
In 1835 the monastery was secularized . The monastery property was auctioned in 1842 for 5,000 thalers on condition that all monastery buildings including the monastery church be demolished. The cultural assets of the monastery were brought to the town church.
In 1793 Blesen came to Prussia . Since 1818 it belonged to the district of Birnbaum and from 1887 beyond the First World War to the end of the Second World War it belonged to the district of Schwerin (Warthe) in the German Empire .
After the Second World War , Blesen was placed under Polish administration, renamed Bledzew and lost its town charter on August 30, 1945. The almost exclusively German-speaking population was expelled from 1945 to 1947 .
