history
Prehistory and the Middle Ages
The earliest traces of settlement are 12,000 years old. The location on both sides of the Warta , on the ancient trade routes between Eastern and Western Europe , enabled Posen to develop steadily. During the Great Migration Period , the East Germanic Burgundians left this area and Slavic tribes from the East settled.
The first mention of Poznan coincides with the mention of the city as the first Polish bishopric in 968 (see Archdiocese of Poznan ). The first previous building of the Poznań Cathedral also dates from this time . The first rulers of Poland were buried in the cathedral. Another mention is made in the Thietmar Chronicle from the year 1005. This, as well as excavation finds, show that Poznan was one of the most developed fortresses in Poland when it became a kingdom under Bolesław I. Chrobry from the Piast dynasty .
In 1038, Bohemia invaded the Piast land, kidnapped the precious relics of St. Adalbert and occupied Silesia . The incursion of the Bohemian prince Břetislav I could not stop the economic development of Poznan, just like the relocation of the Polish capital from Gniezno to Cracow by Casimir I the innovator . The first castle and the oldest settlements in Poznan were on the right bank of the Warta and on the Cybina. At the turn of the 12th to the 13th century, Posen was transformed from a fortified castle and a prince's seat into a city based on Western European models. Under Przemysł I , German immigrants founded a settlement under Magdeburg law in 1253 opposite the old town on the left bank of the Warta . His son Przemysł II resided in the city as King of Poland (1295–1296) at the Poznan Royal Castle .
Poznan from the 16th century to the Second Partition of Poland in 1793
The city flourished in the 16th century and became one of the most important trading centers of the then Polish state. In 1519, Bishop Jan Lubrański founded a college , which over time was named Lubrański Academy . In the years 1550 to 1560, the Ticino builder Gianbattista Quadro , who later also redesigned the Warsaw Royal Castle , rebuilt the town hall . The Jesuit College in Poznan was founded in 1571. In the 16th century, Poznan had about 30,000 inhabitants.
In the 17th and 18th centuries, fires, floods and wars as well as changed trade routes hampered the development of the city. The situation did not change until the reign of King Stanisław August in the second half of the 18th century. The commission of good order set up by the king for the fundamental reform of the Polish state , together with the city authorities, achieved the reconstruction of Poznan and the revival of trade and handicrafts. At the end of the 18th century the city of Poznan again had 15,000 inhabitants.
Prussian period (1793-1918)
In the course of the Second Partition of Poland , Prussian troops marched into Posen on January 30, 1793. The city was then part of the new province of South Prussia of the Kingdom of Prussia . After more than 500 years of formal coexistence, the two sub-towns of Posen were united in 1793.
In the first years of Prussian rule, the Polish inhabitants had the same rights as the Prussian. Equal treatment also applied to the language, so that Polish was used in schools and authorities, although efforts were made to increase the proportion of the German population through preferential treatment when settling.
On December 11, 1806, during the Napoleonic Wars , Saxony was elevated to a kingdom with the signing of a peace treaty in Posen between France and Saxony .
The city of Poznan was affected by two recent changes of area. After the defeat of Prussia against Napoleonic France , Greater Poland and Poznan became part of the short-lived Pro-Napoleonic Duchy of Warsaw from 1807 to 1815 . At the Congress of Vienna , Poznan was finally returned to the Kingdom of Prussia as part of the Grand Duchy of Poznan . The Polish nobleman Anton Radziwiłł was appointed governor in the provincial capital of Poznan. The city government was taken over by Prussian officials and the Polish official language was replaced by German, which was only the beginning of Germanization .
After the November uprising of 1830, the special position of the Grand Duchy within the Prussian state was largely eliminated. After the March Revolution of 1848, the area was only called Posen Province . From the second half of the 19th century, the Polish language came under increasing political pressure. For example, Polish-language school teaching was systematically pushed back. In addition, there was the Kulturkampf with cultural, denominational (the Polish population was almost entirely Catholic) and economic repression as well as other state-supported anti-polonisms, such as that of the German Ostmarkenverein , which was founded in Posen in 1894 and became the predecessor organization of the Federation of German East .
During this time, some important buildings were built, such as the Raczyński Library (1829), the Hotel “Bazar” (1841) and the City Theater (1875). The “ Society of Friends of Science ” (1857) was an intellectual center of the Polish educated elite. The Hipolyt Cegielskis machine factory was particularly decisive for industrialization .
After the Prussian fortifications built a century earlier had been torn down in 1902, Joseph Stübben , one of the most famous German urban planners of his time, was able to design a representative city quarter. In the following years a number of public buildings were realized in different architectural styles: in 1904 the new building of the Kaiser-Friedrich-Museum, founded in 1857 as a museum for Polish and Slavic antiquity on Wilhelmsplatz , today the National Museum on plac Wolności (Freedom Square) , the Royal Academy (1905– 1910 by Eduard Fürstenau , today Collegium Minus ), the residential palace (1905–1910 by Franz Heinrich Schwechten ) with complete neo-Byzantine gold mosaic of the palace chapel by August Oetken and the opera (1910 by Max Littmann ).
At the beginning of the 20th century, Poznan had 15 Catholic and three Protestant churches and several synagogues .
Polish interwar period (1918–1939)
At the end of the First World War , strong ethnic tensions arose in the city. The Polish-speaking majority saw the looming military defeat of the German Empire as a chance for the city to be integrated into the re-established Polish state. Their Wielkopolska Uprising , from December 27, 1918 to February 1919, which extended from the city of Posen to the province, achieved its goal: Posen and large parts of the Prussian province of Posen became the restored Polish state without a prior referendum as part of the Versailles Treaty affiliated. In the years 1919 to 1923 50,000 of the approximately 60,000 Germans left the city, but this did not lead to a reduction in the number of inhabitants.
During the entire interwar period, Poznan experienced a diverse development. In 1919 Poznan University and Poznan University of Technology were established . During the Polish-Soviet War , both the Poznan units and the money from the Poznan banks had a major impact on the outcome. From 1921 the Poznan trade fairs took place, which from 1925 also attracted international attention. This not only influenced the construction of the exhibition halls, but also indirectly that of other representative buildings and some theaters as well as the construction of villa settlements such as Dębiec and Ostroroga and medium-sized settlements such as Główna, Starołęka, Komandoria, Rataje and Winiary. Industrial development in the twenties reached a high point with the General State Exhibition of 1929. With industrialization, the communication infrastructure of the city and the standard of living of its residents grew at the same time. The population has almost doubled since 1919 and reached 275,000 in 1939 (6,000 of them were Germans).
Poznan under German occupation (1939–1945)
During the attack on Poland , the Wehrmacht occupied Poznan on September 10, 1939, and the city was declared the capital of the newly created " Reichsgau Wartheland ". The Polish population was subjected to systematic terror from the beginning of September 1939. These included executions and mass arrests of civilians. In the first phase, Polish scientists, members of the intelligentsia and participants in the 1918/1919 uprising were the victims who were killed in Fort VII in Poznan ; a total of around 20,000 people were murdered there between October 1939 and February 1945. A large part of the remaining Polish population, around 100,000 people, was expelled or deported to other concentration camps . About 10,000 more Poznan people perished. There were other concentration and labor camps in and around Poznan, namely in Krzesiny (German: Kreising) (for around 10,000 prisoners), Smochowice (for around 2,000 prisoners), Dębiec (for around 2,000 prisoners), Zabikowo (for approx. 2,000 prisoners) and a prisoner of war camp, where around 7,000 French, British and Soviets were imprisoned from 1940 to 1945.
Mainly Baltic Germans were settled as new citizens of Posen . Under the Lord Mayor Gerhard Scheffler and the planner Walther Bangert, drafts for a far-reaching redesign and expansion of Poznan were completed, but these were not carried out due to the war.
Under the Nazi Gauleiter Arthur Greiser , the entrance area and the interior of the palace were converted into the first and only "Führer residence" of the German Reich from 1933 to 1945 . The castle chapel, one of the largest neo-Byzantine mosaic total works of art in Europe, was demolished.
The National Socialists founded the University of Posen in April 1941 . The Polish universities had been closed since September 1939, but the Poznan professors continued to teach underground at the Uniwersytet Ziem Zachodnich UZZ (“University of the Western Regions”).
On October 4, 1943, a meeting of SS commanders took place in Posen, and on October 6, another meeting of Reich and Gauleiter took place. On these occasions the Reichsführer SS Heinrich Himmler gave his two speeches in Poznan , in which he openly discussed the regime's secret extermination actions.
On May 29, 1944, the city, then populated by 28.3% Germans, was the target of an Allied air raid, including on the factories of Focke-Wulf and the AFA . On February 23, 1945, the city was captured by units of the Red Army under General Vasily Ivanovich Chuikov in the Battle of Poznan .
History since 1945
After the city was captured, almost the entire German-speaking population of Poznan was expelled from 1945 to 1947. She had to leave her possessions behind. The following period was marked by the reconstruction of the city, which had been destroyed during the war. In particular, the town hall, which was badly damaged in the war, and the historic market square are now a major tourist attraction.
Immediately after the end of the war, the West Institute was founded and expanded to become the leading body for Polish research on Germany.
In June 1956 the strikes of the workers in the city developed into the momentous Poznan uprising , which took place on 28/29. On June 6th the Polish People's Army was bloodily suppressed.
In 1983 and 1997 Pope John Paul II visited the city.
In 1998, as part of the Weimar Triangle, Chancellor Helmut Kohl met with the Presidents of France and Poland, Jacques Chirac and Aleksander Kwaśniewski , in Poznan.
2003 marked the 750th anniversary of the granting of city rights to Poznan by the Piast princes Przemysł I and Bolesław the Pious. The city administration and the “750 Years of Poznan City Rights” foundation organized a large number of political and cultural events on this occasion, which were under the patronage of Aleksander Kwaśniewski.

From the beginning of the 19th century, when the city became part of Prussia, the Protestant church of the city gained new believers through the German immigrants. During the time of the Kulturkampf , the Protestant Church received special state support, while the Catholic Church came under great pressure.
