Krerowo is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Kleszczewo, within Poznań County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, in west-central Poland.[1] It lies approximately 230NaN0 south-east of the regional capital Poznań.
Krerowo was a private church village, administratively located in the Pyzdry County in the Kalisz Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province.[2]
During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), a local teacher was among the victims of a massacre of Poles committed by the Germans in nearby Środa Wielkopolska on 20 October 1939 as part of the genocidal Intelligenzaktion campaign.[3] In 1940–1941, the occupiers carried out expulsions of Poles, whose houses and farms were then handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy.[4] Poles expelled in 1940 were placed in a transit camp in Łódź and then deported to the General Government in the more eastern part of German-occupied Poland, whereas Poles expelled in 1941 were enslaved as forced labour and sent either to Germany or to new German colonists in the county.[4]
The landmarks of Krerowo are the local palace and the Gothic Saint John the Baptist church. There is also a monument of Polish poet Adam Mickiewicz from 1935.
The A2 motorway runs nearby, north of the village.
