History

Remains of the old castle

The first record of a settlement next to the castle of the Pałuka family was noted in 1365. It became a town in 1434. Szubin was a private town of Polish nobility, including the Mycielski and Opaliński families,[2] administratively located in the Kcynia County in the Kalisz Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland.[3] It was granted new privileges in 1645 and 1750.[2]

In 1773, it was annexed by Prussia during the Partitions of Poland. In 1783, the town had a population of 1,170, of which 936 (80%) were Poles, 154 (13%) were Germans and 80 (7%) were Jews. After the successful Greater Poland uprising of 1806, it was regained by the Poles and included in the short-lived Polish Duchy of Warsaw, administratively located within its Bydgoszcz Department.[2] After the duchy's dissolution it was re-annexed by Prussia in 1815 and from 1871 to 1919, it was also part of Germany and was known in German as Schubin. Administratively, Schubin was the capital of the Schubin district in the Bromberg region of the Prussian Province of Posen. Local people took part in the various insurrections which unsuccessfully tried to regain freedom in the 19th century. To resist Germanisation policies, Poles also founded various organizations.

After

Greater Poland Uprising broke out, whose goal was to reintegrate the region with the reborn Polish state. On January 3, 1919 the town was recaptured by the German Grenzschutz, and afterwards Germany concentrated significant forces in the town, and carried out mass arrests of local Poles, who were then deported to Bydgoszcz (Bromberg), Szczecin (Stettin) and Goleniów (Gollnow).[4] On January 8, 1919, Polish insurgents unsuccessfully attempted to recapture the town,[4] however the next battle of Szubin on January 11–12 ended with Polish victory, and the town finally became part of the Second Polish Republic
