Sompolno [sɔmˈpɔlnɔ] is a town in Konin County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, in central Poland,[1] with 3,614 inhabitants (2016).
History
[edit]In the 10th century, the area became part of the emerging Polish state under its first historic ruler Mieszko I. In 1242, Duke Casimir I of Kuyavia from the Piast dynasty stayed in Sompolno, and issued a privilege for the Sulejów Abbey there.[2] Sompolno was granted town rights in 1477.[3] It was a royal town, administratively located in the Brześć Kujawski Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland. A route connecting Warsaw with Poznań and Dresden ran through the town in the 18th century and King Augustus III of Poland often traveled that route.[4]
During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), Sompolno was renamed to Deutscheck between 1939 and 1943 and then later to Deutscheneck between 1943 and 1945[5] in an attempt to erase traces of Polish origin.
Sports
[edit]The local football club is GKS Sompolno. It competes in the lower leagues.
