Krzyż Wielkopolski [ ˈkʃɨʒ‿vʲɛlkɔˈpɔlskʲi ] (German cross (Ostbahn) ) is a town with an urban and rural municipality in the Polish Voivodeship of Greater Poland . It is affiliated with the powiat Czarnkowsko-Trzcianecki and has about 6,300 inhabitants.
Geographical location
The city lies in the Neumark , north of the confluences of Drage (Drawa) and Hammerfliess in the Netze (Noteć). Although the place is an important railway junction, it is off the national road network. A two-kilometer spur road leads to voivodship road 181 from Drezdenko ( Driesen ) to Wieleń ( Filehne ). The nearest major city is Gorzów Wielkopolski ( Landsberg ad Warthe ), 60 kilometers away. To the north of Kreuz is the Kaisersee with a campsite; this is where the Draheim National Park begins.
history
The place name Kreuz / Ostbahn has officially only existed since the city was raised in 1936. First in 1701, the landlord of Filehne Johann Sapieha founded a so-called Dutch village on the west bank of the Kaisersee, which was named Sapiehadorf. In 1750 another settlement was built on the opposite bank. In the church registers of the late 18th century, the settlements are referred to as drage side and bush side. Later the place names Drage-Lukatz (Łokacz Wielkie) and Busch-Lukatz (Łokacz Maly) became common.
From 1847 to 1848 the line of the Stargard-Poznan Railway Company was built through the site . In 1848, the construction of a train station began at the planned junction of the Küstrin - Posen line, with a reception building built in the classical style. Although the construction of the Prussian Eastern Railway was not finally approved by the Prussian state parliament until the end of 1849 , the railway station Kreuz with the southwest-northeast orientation of its tracks was designed so that a line from Berlin to the lower Vistula and to East Prussia should become the main line. The construction of the Ostbahn began in 1849 from the aforementioned station and was completed on July 27, 1851 via Schneidemühl to Bromberg . Further sections of the last 740-kilometer route followed until the opening of the last section from the first Berlin Ostbahnhof to Gusow on October 1, 1857. From then on, two important railway lines crossed here and later led to the name "Cross".
After further railway lines to Deutsch Krone (Wałcz) and Rogasen (Rogoźno) had been built from this point in the following years , the station had gained so much importance that a new settlement developed in its vicinity. Initially, randomly designed streets with shops and public buildings were built. The Protestant church was built in 1882 and the market square was completed in 1900. The good rail connections and the not far away network port prompted several industrial companies such as a starch factory and wood processing companies to settle in the area. In 1914 the two Lukatz villages were incorporated. The population had increased from 430 in 1880 to 2,400 in 1910.
Until 1887 Kreuz belonged to the Posener Kreis Czarnikau , after its subdivision until 1920 to the District Filehne . After the Wielkopolska Uprising of 1918/19 and the loss of large parts of West Prussia to Poland through the Treaty of Versailles , the city came to the newly formed Grenzmark Province of Posen-West Prussia and was located there directly on the Polish border in the district of Netzekreis . In 1938 the province of Grenzmark was dissolved and incorporated into the province of Pomerania .
Towards the end of the Second World War , the Red Army occupied the region in the spring of 1945 . In fighting with the Soviet troops, 85 percent of the cross was destroyed. Soon after, the village was placed under Polish administration. In the following years the established German residents were expelled and replaced by Poles. The German city Kreuz (Ostbahn) was renamed Krzyż Wielkopolski .
Population numbers
- 1890: 2.419
- 1925: 4,405, including 354 Catholics and 27 Jews

church
The Protestant residents of the Kreuz train station initially visited the church in Dragelukatz (Polish: Łokacz Wielki), a wooden building probably from the period after 1700. When more and more settlements were built at the Kreuz train station, the railway administration provided a prayer room and in 1854 a school facility at the former Maybachstrasse available. Later, the administration provided a building plot, and so - after almost three decades - a newly built church was consecrated on October 3, 1882. It was a simple hall church with an east choir and a roof turret placed on the west gable with a front portal. A wooden bell tower stood on the western forecourt.
The Catholic Church members had initially have to come with a church barracks at the former lake road after the border demarcation in the 1920s. Only in 1936 was a massive church built on what was then Schillerstraße.
Today both church buildings belong to the Roman Catholic Church in Poland , whose denomination represents the vast majority of the population of Krzyż. The two parishes belong to the dean's office Trzcianka ( Schönlanke ) in the diocese of Köslin-Kolberg . Protestant church members living here belong to the parish Piła ( Schneidemühl ) in the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
In Krzyż Wlkp. Today there is also a church of the Old Catholic Church of the Mariavites .
