history

Zaborowo Church

On March 20, 1644, the Polish king Władysław IV. Gave the landlord Wojciech (Albert) Gajewski permission to found a town on the soil of the village of the same name, Zaborowo. The city received Magdeburg law and, like many other city foundations of that time, was explicitly intended as a place of refuge for Protestant religious refugees in the border area with Silesia .

Zaborowo came in the course of the Second Partition of Poland in 1793 as part of the Province of South Prussia to the Kingdom of Prussia . After a brief affiliation with the Duchy of Warsaw from 1807 to 1815, the city came back to Prussia as part of the Grand Duchy of Posen (Province of Posen). Zaborowo belonged to the Fraustadt district until 1887 and then to the newly formed Lissa district .

Zaborowo was on the postal route between Breslau and Posen . From an economic point of view, the cloth making trade was of particular importance to the city. Around 1819, of the city's 890 inhabitants, more than ninety worked as cloth makers.

In the course of the Wielkopolska uprising in 1848 and the planned division of the province into a German and a Polish part, the seven cities of the Fraustadt district, including Zaborowo, demanded the connection to Silesia and thus to the German Confederation. In the shadow of the neighboring town of Lissa, development in Zaborowo stagnated. In 1893 Zaborowo was revoked its town charter and downgraded to a rural municipality.

After the First World War, parts of the Lissa district were occupied by Polish rioters in the Wielkopolska Uprising of 1918-1919 . Most of the German-populated district area, including Lissa and Zaborowo, remained under German control. In the Versailles Treaty , however, the entire Lissa district had to be ceded to Poland. The evacuation and delivery took place between January 17 and February 4, 1920. The Lissa district became the Polish powiat Leszno .

In the interwar period there was a strong migration of the population to the German Empire. After Zaborowo was conquered by the Wehrmacht at the beginning of the Second World War in 1939 , the place was attached to the Lissa district in the newly formed Reichsgau Wartheland . Zaborowo was renamed Dornfeld and incorporated into the city of Lissa in 1942. In the spring of 1945 the Red Army occupied the region and the place became part of Poland again. In the following period German inhabitants from Zaborowo were sold .
