Village street in Jordan

The village of Jordan, to which a Vorwerk belonged and which had a Catholic mother church, was mainly inhabited by workers in the 19th century who had been employed in the factories in the area and who had been recruited from remote areas.

Jordan was one kilometer south of Paradise Monastery . It was the only place in Neumark where the Evangelicals lived scattered among Catholics. There was a Catholic and a Protestant school here.

From 1935 to 1937 the Confessing Church maintained an illegal seminary here under the direction of Hans Joachim Iwand .

From 1818 to 1945 Jordan belonged to the district of Züllichau-Schwiebus in the administrative district of Frankfurt in the Prussian province of Brandenburg , since 1871 in the German Empire . Until the dissolution of the province of Posen in 1920 due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the village and Vorwerk Jordan were administered by the Altenhof domain office in the Posen administrative region.

Towards the end of the Second World War , the Red Army occupied the region in the spring of 1945 . A short time later, Jordan was placed under Polish administration. In the following period the inhabitants were expelled and replaced by Poles. The German town of Jordan was renamed Jordanowo .
