German community
[edit]Since 1772, when the city came under the Prussian rule due to a millitary Partitions of Poland, its ethnic composition began to change. Frederick II quickly implanted 57,475 German families to Prussian Partition in order to solidify his new acquisitions.[10] The process of German colonization and Germanization intensified in the nineteenth century and is known in Polish historiography as Drang nach Osten (German for "push eastward"[11]).
In 1910 the town had 57,696 inhabitants, of which 84 % were Germans and almost 16 % were Poles. When after World War I the regulations of the Treaty of Versailles became effective in 1920, the number of German inhabitants decreased rapidly. In 1921 the town had 88,000 inhabitants, including 24,000 Germans; until 1928 the number of Germans decreased further to almost 12,000.[7] Between 1920 and 1928 despite significant outflow of Germans, population increased by 30 000, as Polish Authorities decided to include to the city an area of more than a dozen suburban communities, inhabited mainly by Poles.[12]
A history of German community in Bydgoszcz ended up with the catastrophy of World War II. Upon the Potsdam Agreement German population living in Poland were transfered to Germany[13], and Poles living in what was before the war Polish "Eastern Borderlands" were moved to Poland.[14]
