Kreis Rawitsch

On December 27, 1918, the Greater Poland uprising against German rule began in the province of Posen, and the north-eastern part of the Rawitsch district was under Polish control after just a few days.

The south-western part around Rawitsch and Bojanowo remained under German control.

On February 16, 1919, an armistice ended the Polish-German fighting, and on June 28, 1919, the German government officially ceded the Rawitsch district to the newly founded Poland with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles.

On November 25, 1919, Germany and Poland concluded an agreement on the evacuation and surrender of the areas to be ceded, which was ratified on January 10, 1920.

The evacuation of the remaining area under German control including the district town of Rawitsch and the handover to Poland took place between January 17 and February 4, 1920.
