history

Kallies Castle, renovated after the fire in 1945 (photo 2013)
Kallies ( Callies ) northwest of the city of Schneidemühl and northeast of the city of Arnswalde - see upper half of the picture - on a map of the province of Posen from 1905 (areas marked in yellow indicate areas with a majority of Polish- speaking population at the time ).
City Church (Protestant until 1945)

During excavations in 1939, a Bronze Age treasure from around 1000 BC was discovered in Kallies . And an urn grave field from the years 200 to 400 AD. In the middle of the 13th century, the Brandenburg margraves settled German immigrants in the area east of the Drage, who also founded the town of Kallies. It had developed so far by the beginning of the 14th century that in 1303 the margraves granted it Magdeburg city charter. In order to further promote the economic power of the city, it was also given the right to stack charcoal and pitch, and in order to be able to raise enough funds for the construction of a city fortification, all taxes were waived. In 1350 the knight Henning von Wedell received Kallies as a fiefdom, which in 1378 passed to the von Güntersberg family. She kept the fiefdom until 1731. From 1402 to 1455 the town belonged to the Teutonic Order , after which it was part of the Brandenburg Neumark . During the period of the Order, Polish troops raided the city three times, setting it on fire each time.

In 1623, numerous residents of Kallies fell victim to the plague , and in 1683 and 1771 the city was so thoroughly destroyed by fires that extensive rebuilding began in 1777 with financial help from the Prussian royal family. The road network was completely redesigned.

In the Prussian administrative reorganization of 1816 Kallies was in Pomerania in Administrative district Köslin in Pomerania of the German Reich incorporated.

The connection to the railway network took place on September 1, 1888 with the opening of the Deutsch Krone – Kallies section. The railway lines to Arnswalde and Stolzenhagen followed in 1895 and to Falkenburg in 1900, making the small town with almost 3,000 inhabitants an important railway junction with two railway stations. At the beginning of the 20th century, Kallies had a Protestant church, a synagogue , cloth factories and was the seat of a local court; The Kallies Castle with a potato starch factory was nearby . The traffic development favored the settlement of further industrial companies such as the sand-lime brick factory and a cement factory. The last cloth factory closed in 1927.

Town Hall (1968)

After the First World War , a new district at the train station was created by the influx of numerous residents of the areas ceded to Poland, namely the larger parts of the Province of Posen and the Province of West Prussia . Electrification of the city began in 1924. The last major project of the German population was completed in 1935 with the renovation of the town hall. In 1938, Kallies, like the rest of the Dramburg district, was assigned to the newly formed Grenzmark Posen-West Prussia administrative district within the Pomerania province.

Towards the end of the Second World War , the German city of Kallies was largely destroyed in February 1945 during fierce resistance to the conquest by the Soviet troops. After the end of the war, the region was placed under Polish administration by the Soviet Union . The immigration of Polish migrants began, some of whom came from eastern Poland . Most of the residents had fled before, the rest were subsequently evicted by the local Polish administrative authorities .
