Kobylin [ kɔˈbɨlin ] (German older Kobelin ) is a city in Poland in the Greater Poland Voivodeship . It is the seat of the town and country municipality of the same name in the Powiat Krotoszyński ( Krotoschin District ).
Geographical location
Kobylin is located about 80 kilometers south of the city of Poznan and 15 kilometers west of the district town of Krotoszyn ( Krotoschin )
history
The first mention of a village called Kobylin is from August 15, 1289 when the archbishop Jakub Świnka the Church of the place visited . The next documentary mention of February 6, 1303 establishes the granting of city rights . The city was founded according to Neumarkt law . The name of the city that was to be built next to the village was set to Venetia, but the name Kobylin also prevailed for the city. On December 21, 1430, the town charter was confirmed by Władysław II Jagiełło according to Magdeburg law . As a result of the Counter Reformation around 1630, a mass exodus from Silesia led to a significant influx of Protestants, which contributed to a significant expansion of Kobylin. In 1793, at the Second Partition of Poland , the city became part of Prussia . It was assigned to the Krotoschin district .
The connection to the rail network takes place in 1888. After the First World War , Kobylin became part of the revived Poland due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty .
In September 1939, the city was occupied by the German Wehrmacht as part of the attack on Poland . The city name was changed to Koppelstädt on May 18, 1943 . In 1945, at the end of the Second World War , the area was occupied by the Red Army and subsequently part of the People's Republic of Poland . The German residents were expelled .
Religions
As a result of the massive influx of Protestants, the Protestant church "Zum Schifflein Christi" was consecrated on March 4, 1632, and the Protestant parish Kobylin was founded. A second church building replaced the previous church building in 1692. The third church with a bell tower in front was built as a half-timbered building with double galleries. In January 1945 the parish was orphaned with the abandonment of almost all Germans. The following year the nave was demolished.
There was a Jewish community. The new synagogue was inaugurated on February 12, 1855 after the old one had become dilapidated.
