Miejska Górka is a town in Rawicz County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, Poland.[1] With 3,190 inhabitants (2010), it lies approximately 9km (06miles) north-east of Rawicz and 830NaN0 south of the regional capital Poznań.
Miejska Górka was granted town rights before 1406. It was a private town, administratively located in the Kościan County in the Poznań Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland.[2]
Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, Miejska Górka was occupied by Germany until 1945. The occupiers operated a subcamp of the Nazi prison in Rawicz, dedicated to prisoners suffering from tuberculosis.[3] On 22 May 1941, the Germans perpetrated a public execution of 25 Poles in the town (see Nazi crimes against the Polish nation).[4] The command of the Miejscowa Organizacja Podziemna Polish resistance organization was operating in Miejska Górka, and eventually became part of the larger Home Army in 1944.[5]
There is a railway station in Miejska Górka, and the national road 36 passes through the town.
