Czempiń [ˈt͡ʂɛmpʲiɲ] is a town in Kościan County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, Poland. As of December 2021, the town has a population of 4,921. [1]
As part of the region of Greater Poland, i.e. the cradle of the Polish state, the area formed part of Poland since its establishment in the 10th century. It was a private town, administratively located in the Kościan County in the Poznań Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province. [2] The Szołdrski family erected a Baroque palace in Czempiń.
During the German occupation of Poland ( World War II), several prominent Poles from Czempiń were among the victims of massacres of Poles committed by the Germans in nearby Kościan on October 2 and 23, 1939 and in the forest near Kościan on November 7, 1939 (see also: Intelligenzaktion). [3] In 1939, 1941 and 1943, the occupiers carried out expulsions of Poles, whose houses were then handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy. [4] Poles expelled in 1939 and 1943 were deported to the General Government in the more eastern part of German-occupied Poland, whereas expellees from 1941 were deported to forced labour in Germany. [4] Some local teachers were among Polish teachers murdered in the Mauthausen concentration camp. [5] In 1940, the Germans renamed the town to Karlshausen in attempt to erase traces of Polish origin.
