Pobiedziska ([pɔbʲɛˈd͡ʑiska]) (German: Pudewitz) is a town in Poznań County, Poland,[1] with 8,209 inhabitants as of the year 2004.

It was named by Casimir I the Restorer in 1048 AD, possibly to commemorate his defeat of Masław, a rebellious Masovian namiestnik.

After a century of anarchy in Poland, the country was partitioned between Europe's three Great Powers, Russia, Prussia and Austria.

Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the town was occupied by Germany until 1945.

[5] Mieczysław Golus, commander of the local unit of the Union of Armed Struggle, was arrested by the Germans in 1942 and then sentenced to death and executed the following year.
