history
Popowo was mentioned in a document in 1321 as a border village when the diocese of Płock separated from Kujawy . In the settlement of the dispute over several parishes, the place remained with Kujawien and the diocese of Włocławek . In a dispute with the Teutonic Knights , Kujawien and the Dobrzyń region came to the Kingdom of Poland in 1343 through the Treaty of Kalisch . This was confirmed by the Peace Treaty of Thorn in 1466 .
After the Second Partition of Poland , the region fell to Prussia in 1793 and to the Duchy of Warsaw after the Peace of Tilsit in 1807 . By the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the area came to the to Russia is part of Congress Poland . The Popowo Vorwerk was part of the Chalin municipality.
During the First World War , the Dobrzyń region was occupied by the German army. With the recovery of Polish independence on 11 November 1918 the Powiat Lipno came to the province of Warsaw and in 1937 to the Wielkopolska Pommerellen based in Torun (Thorn) . In August 1920, the deployment and subsequent withdrawal of the Red Army after the Battle of Warsaw (Miracle on the Vistula) took place in this area.
After the invasion of Poland in World War II, the area was from 10 September 1939 to 21 January 1945 staffed German . During this time, 87 residents of the Tłuchowo community were killed, killed at the front, murdered or shot in camps, like 20 residents of the Dorfródła village.
Administratively, the Polish rural community Tłuchowo "joined the Reich" on October 26, 1939 with the district of Lipno . The district came to the administrative district Marienwerder in the Reichsgau Danzig-West Prussia . The Tluchowo district was formed from a number of rural communities and placed under an official commissioner. On June 25, 1942, the Slavic place names were Germanized. The administrative district and municipality were officially renamed Tülchau . The district became the district of Leipe (Westpr.) . Chalin became Hallingen , Tschzianka (Polish: Trzcianka) became Schanken and Popowo became Papengrund .
On September 29, 1943, the future Nobel Peace Prize laureate Lech Wałęsa - from 1980 to 1990 chairman of the Solidarność trade union and from 1990 to 1995 President of Poland - was born in the occupied Papengrund (Popowo). His father, the carpenter Bolesław Wałęsa, died in June 1945 of the consequences of ailments that he suffered while doing forced labor in a Danzig subcamp of the Stutthof concentration camp .
In 1946 a land reform was carried out in the Tłuchowo municipality . Landless people and small farmers were given land ownership by dividing up larger areas. The community itself was divided into the three gromadas Tłuchowo, Jasień and Mysłakówko in 1954 under the motto “Power closer to the citizen” . At the beginning of 1973 the Gromadas were merged again to form a rural community (Gmina) .
