Ⅵ.History and Culture
-The city was founded in 1415 by Wierzbięta from the Łódź Krotoski family under the privilege of King Władysław Jagiełło. The name of the village is possessive and means the property of Krotosz (the name derives from the Old Polish "short" - cheerful, gentle, kind).
-During the First Polish Republic, the city was owned by Polish noble and magnate families. In the 15th and 16th centuries, in the times of the Krotoski and subsequent owners, Krotoszyn was a small, poor and insignificant town. It was not until the end of the 16th century that it became a significant center of trade and crafts, especially brewing and weaving, in this part of Greater Poland.
-Presumably, from the end of the 15th century, Jews settled in Krotoszyn, who in the following centuries constituted nearly one third of all the town's inhabitants. At the beginning of the 18th century, the city fell into decline as a result of wars and the accompanying epidemics. The second invasion of the Swedes (1704-1717) and the plague epidemic (1708-1710) were particularly severe, when the completely ruined city had a population of several hundred.
-Krotoszyn recovered from its decline in the last years of pre-partition Poland, when in 1725 the owner of the Krotoszyn estate and the city became the Voivode of Kiev, Józef Pilawa Potocki. The abolition of obsolete serfdom in favor of rent and the introduction of allowances for settling craftsmen were of particular importance. The number of inhabitants increased to nearly 4,000. In Potocki's time, there were over 360 houses in Krotoszyn, including only 1 brick. The city had paved streets, an organized fire brigade, a city clock, waterworks and three city gates preserved, behind which stretched the suburbs: Koźmińskie, Kaliskie and Zdunowskie.
-After the second partition of Poland in 1793, the city passed into Prussian hands. At that time, the Krotoszyn poviat was created and in 1807 incorporated into the Duchy of Warsaw. After the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the city returned to Prussia, within the borders of the Grand Duchy of Poznań. The Germans established an administrative and judicial center in Krotoszyn, many offices and poviat institutions were established. At that time, the influx of German people, especially clerical families, intensified. The constantly expanding Evangelical community built its own church in 1790 - today the Church of St. Andrzej Bobola - and founded a school there.
-In 1819 the Prussian government handed over the Krotoszyn goods to Prince Charles von Thurn und Taxis in exchange for the postal monopoly in Rhineland and Westphalia. From then on, the city and the surrounding goods created the so-called Duchy of Krotoszyn.
-In the mid-nineteenth century, Krotoszyn was the fourth largest city in Wielkopolska. It had 7,687 inhabitants, including 2,699 Catholics, 2,660 Evangelicals and 2,319 Jews. Weaving collapsed during this period, while furriery and shoemaking developed. However, fundamental changes in the appearance of Krotoszyn took place only in the last quarter of the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century, when most of the industrial plants, schools and official buildings were built. The construction of the railway line was of great economic importance for the city.
-The city was expanding - on its outskirts, especially the western and northern outskirts, new streets and industrial plants were built: machine factory, breweries, sawmills, a brickyard, a slaughterhouse, and a distillery. Most of the market townhouses were rebuilt, and the town hall in 1898/99 gained the second floor and a new, pseudo-Renaissance façade. At the beginning of the 20th century, Krotoszyn was a green city. In the center there was a park of the prince of Thurn und Taxis, which was made available to residents.
-After World War I, Krotoszyn, liberated on January 1, 1919 by the Greater Poland insurgents, found itself within the borders of the reborn Polish state. The city maintained its agricultural and industrial character. This was due to the proximity of the German border and the agricultural character of the poviat. The peaceful and rhythmic development of the city was interrupted by the outbreak of World War II. On September 2, 1939, Krotoszyn was occupied by the Germans. The 56th Wlkp Infantry Regiment, stationed in Krotoszyn, took part in the Polish defensive war.
-After World War II, Krotoszyn remained the seat of the poviat and municipal and commune authorities. The city's population has doubled to 30,000 people. A number of apartment blocks were built, and new single-family housing estates were built on the outskirts of the city.
