Polska Wieś (; German: Paulsdorf[3]) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Kłecko, within Gniezno County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, in west-central Poland.[4] It lies approximately 2km (01miles) west of Kłecko, 170NaN0 north-west of Gniezno, and 430NaN0 north-east of the regional capital Poznań. In the years 1975-1998, the village administratively belonged to the Poznań Voivodeship.[5] According to the 2021 National Census, Polska Wieś was inhabited by 242 inhabitants, of which 49.6% were women and 50.4% men.[6]
Polska Wieś was one of the few villages located in the Middle Ages under the so-called Polish law (at that time, a location based on Magdeburg law was much more popular).[7] The village probably existed before 1523 and was part of the Kłecko starosty, created as a result of the division of the Środa starosty. In the years 1580 - 1620 the village belonged to the Czarnkowski family. In 1771 the village paid a sheaf tithe to the parish priests of St. George in Gniezno, and its owner was Antoni Mirosławski.[8] From April 9, 1901 to the incorporation of Greater Poland into the Polish state (1919) and during the German occupation, the village was called Paulsdorf.[9] [10]
