Poznan is one of Poland's larger cities with about 580 000 inhabitants, lying in the central part of the country by the river Warta. It is the main city of the Greater Poland Voivodship. The city was first mentioned in written documents of the 10th - early 11th century. There are two versions of the origin of the city's name: either from a personal name, or from a Polish verb meaning "to know, to recognize". The first known Polish duke, Mieszko I, built a castle in Poznan. Mieszko's son Boleslaus I the Brave was crowned king in 1025, and the Kingdom of Poland was established. Poznan was the capital of Greater Poland until it came under Prussian control in 1793. In 1806 the Poles sided with Napoleon and drove out the Prussian forces. In 1807 Poznan became part of the Duchy of Warsaw and capital of the Poznan department. After the Congress of Vienna Greater Poland was returned to Prussia and Poznan became capital of the Grand Duchy of Poznan. From 1871, it was part of the German Empire. Following Germany's defeat in the First World War and the establishment of the Second Polish Republic, Poznan became the capital of a voivodship. World War II came with German occupation and severe repressions. Since the end of the war, Poznan has been the main city of one of the 16 Polish provinces.
