Czarnków [ ˈʧarnkuf ] ( German Czarnikau ) is the district town of the powiat Czarnkowsko-Trzcianecki ( Czarnikau-Schönlanke ) and seat of a rural community in Poland .

Geographical location

The city is located on the Netze (Noteć), about forty kilometers south of the city of Piła ( Schneidemühl ).

history

Czarnikau northwest of the city of Poznan and south of the city of Schneidemühl on a map of the province of Poznan from 1905 (areas marked in yellow indicate areas with a predominantly Polish- speaking population at the time ).

Czarnków was founded in the 10th or 11th century. It was a fortress of Pomerania that belonged in 1100 a gentleman Gnevomir. A small settlement had already formed around the castle. Around 1107 or 1108 the fortress was built by the Polish Duke Bolesław III. Wrymouth attacked and overwhelmed using siege engines. From 1244 to 1407 the place was the seat of a castle bailiff. The town received its town charter in 1369. From the 13th century to the first half of the 17th century, Czarnków was owned by the Czarnkowski family, who belonged to the Nałęcz family. This is why the city still has the same coat of arms as the Nalecz family. In 1647 a Catholic parish school was opened.

As part of the first partition of Poland in 1772, the city and the network district came to Prussia . At the time of taking possession of the houses, most of which had thatched or shingle roofs , were in extremely poor condition; After part of the city burned down in 1776, Frederick the Great had more solid houses built at the expense of the state. The village belonged to the German Empire until 1920 . Czarnikau was the district town for the district of Czarnikau in the province of Poznan .

When Czarnikau was added to the newly founded Second Polish Republic in 1920 , the houses north of the nets, previously called Czarnikau Abbau , remained with Germany. They were given the new name Deutsch Czarnikau and were incorporated into the newly founded network district in the border region of Posen-West Prussia . Deutsch Czarnikau was renamed Scharnikau in 1937 .

From 1939 to 1945, Czarnków south of the Netze was occupied by the Germans , who in 1940 also renamed the city Scharnikau and incorporated it into the Reichsgau Wartheland .

Towards the end of the Second World War , the Red Army occupied the region at the beginning of 1945 . Soon after, the city was handed over to the administration of the People's Republic of Poland . The school was reopened on February 27, 1945. As far as there were Germans in the city, they were expelled by the local Polish administrative authority in the following period .
