The Wongrowitz district (until 1875 Wongrowiec district ) was a Prussian district that existed between 1793 and 1919 in different delimitations.

The former district area is now part of the Polish Greater Poland Voivodeship .

history

The district of Wongrowiec was initially a district in the Prussian province of South Prussia , which came to Prussia after the Second Partition of Poland in 1793 . The Wongrowitz district became part of the Duchy of Warsaw through the Peace of Tilsit in 1807 .

After the Congress of Vienna on May 15, 1815, the district again fell to Prussia and became part of the Bromberg administrative district of the Province of Posen . During the first district reform in the district of Bromberg on July 1, 1816, the district of Wongrowiec remained unchanged.

In another district reform in the administrative district of Bromberg, the district gave territories to the districts of Chodziesen , Gnesen , Mogilno and Schubin on January 1, 1818 and received small parts of the Gnesen and Wirsitz districts in return . The town of Wongrowiec became the seat of the district administration .

As part of the Province of Poznan , the Wongrowiec district 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.

In 1875 the city and the district of Wongrowiec were renamed Wongrowitz .

On 1 October 1887, the county gave the city Janowiec Wielkopolski , most of the same police district , as well as almost the entire police district Juncewo to the newly formed county Znin from.

On December 27, 1918, the Greater Poland uprising of the Polish majority against German rule began in the province of Posen, and on December 30, 1918, the district town of Wongrowitz was under Polish control. On February 16, 1919, an armistice ended the Polish-German fighting, and on June 28, 1919, the German government officially ceded the Wongrowitz district to newly founded Poland with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles . The Polish powiat Wągrowiecki became the Wongrowitz district .
