Key Information

History

[edit]
19th-century view of the Saint Andrew Church

Kleczew received town rights in 1366.[2] It was a private town administratively located in the Konin County in the Kalisz Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland.[3] A route connecting Warsaw with Poznań and Dresden ran through the town in the 18th century and King Augustus III of Poland often traveled that route.[4] According to the 1921 census, the town had a population of 2,744, 87.1% Polish and 12.7% Jewish by declared nationality.[5]

Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the town was occupied by Germany until 1945. A local Polish teacher was among the victims of a massacre of Poles, committed by the Germans in Konin on 10 November 1939 as part of the Intelligenzaktion.[6] The Polish resistance movement was active in Kleczew. Polish underground press was distributed in the town.[7]
