History

edit

Rosnówko was a private village of Polish nobility, including the Chomęcki and Gajewski families,[2] administratively located in the Poznań County in the Poznań Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland.[3]

During World War II, in January 1945, a German-perpetrated death march of prisoners of various nationalities from the dissolved camp in Żabikowo to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp passed through the village.[4]
