History

[edit]

The village was first mentioned in 1136. Komorniki was a private church village of the Diocese of Poznań,[1] administratively located in the Poznań County in the Poznań Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland.[2]

Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, Komorniki was occupied by Germany until 1945. Stanisław Różycki, who organized the local unit of the Union of Armed Struggle resistance organization, was arrested by the occupiers in 1941, however, he escaped, and in 1942 he was arrested again, then imprisoned in Poznań and Wrocław, and sentenced to death, and murdered in 1943.[3] During World War II, in January 1945, a German-perpetrated death march of prisoners of various nationalities from the dissolved camp in Żabikowo to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp passed through the village.[4]
