history
The first mention of today's Pniewy comes from the year 1256. The place received city rights possibly as early as the end of the 13th century or in the 14th century. During the third partition of Poland , the place became part of Prussia . This affiliation was interrupted in 1807 and 1815 with the incorporation into the Duchy of Warsaw . In 1888 the place was connected to the rail network from Poznan to Birnbaum ( Międzychód ). The volunteer fire brigade was founded in 1893.
After the First World War in 1920, the place became part of the re-established Poland . In September 1939 the Wehrmacht marched into Pniewy as part of the attack on Poland . The Germans set up a labor camp for Jews. At the beginning of 1944 a camp for the Reich Labor Service was set up, which was closed again in the autumn of that year. The occupation ended at the end of the Second World War on January 25, 1945. The German population was expelled, unless they had already fled.
