history
The area around the Greater Poland cities of Adelnau and Ostrowo belonged to the Adelnau district in the Prussian province of South Prussia after the Third Partition of Poland from 1793 to 1807 . With the Peace of Tilsit the area became part of the Duchy of Warsaw in 1807 . After the Congress of Vienna , on May 15, 1815, it fell again to the Kingdom of Prussia and became part of the Poznan administrative district of the Poznan Province.
During the Prussian administrative reforms , a district reform was carried out in the Posen administrative district on January 1, 1818, in which the Adelnau district surrendered its northern part to the new Pleschen district . The town of Adelnau was the district town and seat of the District Office .
As part of Prussia, the province of Posen also became part of the newly founded German Empire on January 18, 1871 , against which the Polish MPs protested in the new Reichstag on April 1, 1871.
On October 1, 1887, the eastern part of the Adelnau district was separated and formed into a separate Ostrowo district . The following were given to the new district:
- the city of Ostrovo
- the Ostrowo-Ost police district
- the eastern half of the Ostrowo-West police district with the rural communities Franklinow, Gremblew and Kollontajewo, the rural communities and manor districts of Bendzieszyn, Biniew, Czekanow, Karski, Kwiatkow and Slaborowice, and the manor districts of Bagatella, Lewkow, Mlynow and Szczury
- the eastern half of the Ostrowo-Süd police district with the rural parishes of Chynowa, Chynowpustkowie, Klein Przygodzice and Klein Wysocko, the rural parishes and manor districts of Groß Przygodzice, Klein Wysocko and Wysocko Małe, and the manor districts of Alt Kociem, Antonieciembainwerk and Kaminiec.
On December 27, 1918, the Wielkopolska uprising of the Polish majority against German rule began in the province of Posen , and apart from a southern border strip including the town of Sulmierzyce, most of the district was under Polish control in January 1919.
On February 16, 1919, an armistice ended the Polish-German fighting, and on June 28, 1919, with the signing of the Versailles Treaty , the German government officially ceded the Adelnau district to the newly founded Poland . On November 25, 1919, Germany and Poland concluded an agreement on the evacuation and surrender of the areas to be ceded, which was ratified on January 10, 1920. The area remaining under German control was cleared and handed over to Poland together with the city of Sulmierzyce between January 17 and February 4, 1920.
The Polish powiat Odolanów became from the Adelnau district . In 1932, the powiat was dissolved and connected to the eastern neighboring powiat Ostrów Wielkopolski .
