Grabów nad Prosną [ 'grabuf nad' prɔsnɔ̃ ] ( German Grabow , 1940-1945 Altwerder ) is a town in western Poland and the seat of the rural community of the same name ( gmina wiejska ). It is located in the Greater Poland Voivodeship about 110 km south-east of Poznan on the bank of the Prosna and belongs to the powiat Ostrzeszowski .

history

In the Middle Ages, Grabów was a crown property. The village was first mentioned in documents as a property of the Polish rulers in 1264 and the castle was first mentioned in 1366. The former Grabów Castle is the ancestral seat of the Polish aristocratic family of the Tsaremba.

On August 20, 1416, King Władysław II Jagiełło Grabów granted city rights. As a royal domain and seat of a Starostei , the city developed quite slowly, with cloth making, beer brewing and trade forming its economic basis.

In the course of the Second Partition of Poland , Grabów first became Prussian from 1793 to 1807 , Polish again from 1807 to 1815 and Prussian again from 1815 . The city became a border town with Russia .

In 1918 Grabów returned to Poland together with the rest of Greater Poland. In September 1939 the city was occupied by the Wehrmacht during the attack on Poland . The occupation lasted until the Red Army marched in at the end of World War II .
