History

Rural folk fest in 1960

The territory became a part of the emerging Polish state under its first historic ruler Mieszko I in the 10th century. Podmokle Wielkie was a royal village of the Polish Crown, administratively located in the Kościan County in the Poznań Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province.[2]

During the German invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the Germans arrested a local Polish school teacher, who was then deported to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp,[3] and killed there (see Nazi crimes against the Polish nation). Several young Poles, wanting to avoid being drafted into the Wehrmacht and fighting against Poland, fled the village.[4] After the defeat of Nazi Germany in the war, in 1945, the village was restored to Poland.
