History
[edit]_(9).jpg)
The territory became a part of the emerging Polish state under its first historic ruler Mieszko I in the 10th century. Sławianowo was a private village of Polish nobility, including the Działyński family,[2] administratively located in the Nakło County in the Kalisz Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province.[3] In 1704, the Brotherhood of Saint Barbara was founded in Sławianowo.[2]
In 1885, it had a population of 140.[2]
In 1939, the Germans arrested the local Polish parish priest, and murdered a local Polish teacher in Okalewo (see: Nazi crimes against the Polish nation),[4][5] and the village was renamed to Steinmark in attempt to erase traces of Polish origin. During World War II, the Germans operated a forced labour subcamp of the Stalag II-B prisoner-of-war camp for Allied POWs in the village.[6] Following Germany's defeat in World War II, in 1945, the village became again part of Poland and its historic name[2] was restored.
