Markowice [markɔˈvit͡sɛ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Kleszczewo, within Poznań County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, in west-central Poland. [1] It lies approximately 6 kilometres (4 mi) south-east of Kleszczewo and 25 km (16 mi) south-east of the regional capital Poznań.
Markowice was a private village of Polish nobility, administratively located in the Pyzdry County in the Kalisz Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province. [2]
During the German occupation of Poland ( World War II), in 1940, the occupiers carried out expulsions of Poles, whose houses and farms were then handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy.
