Massacre at Jeżyce (1849)

-

Massacre on Jeżyce - massacre made on Polish inhabitants Jeżyc (then independent village, from 1900 parts of Poznan) by Prussian soldiers, on the evening of 13 May 1849.

The genesis of the events was the deterioration of Polish-German relations after the Wielkopolska uprising in 1848. The massacre was initiated by a quarrel between Prussian soldiers and several Polish farmers who demanded to play along the road connecting Jeżyce with Poznan Mazurka Dąbrowski. This situation did not appeal to the soldiers in this place. Quickly fought. The soldiers who could not handle the farm workers were sent to the nearby railway station, which was then located in Jeżyce, in the area of ​​ul. Gajowa. About half of the battalion of the army supported by young German civilians armed with rods and sticks came from there. Initially, all the Poles encountered were beaten and abused, and then burglaries broke out in residential homes, where furniture and equipment were broken and broken, windows were torn down and possessions were destroyed. Hardly many people were beaten. The farmer killed Remlejn and his wife, who hid the baby. Deadly wounded by a name unknown farmer from the host Jeske. Wagner's host was also murdered, and his head smashed into clinker brick. This was made by an unknown soldier from the 5th Company of the 8th Infantry Regiment, whose uniform was bloodied and his brain prevented him from returning to the city. It was dressed in civilian clothes and under the cover of the crowd was introduced to Poznan. This uniform was later found at Fiedler's pharmacy in Jeżyce and was given to him along with a brick by the village administrator Jeżyce. Ultimately, the order in the village led the army from the Poznan garrison. Several soldiers were arrested on the beating of civilians and the destruction of property was arrested. Prussian bandits were going to go on to Górczyn, but probably did not realize that intention.

The earliest mention of these creatures is dated to the fifth century BC, and its author is Herodotus. According to her, these ants inhabited the deserts of Persia and India and extracted gold from their sands. Several such creatures were kept in the residence of the King of Persia. Gold was to be obtained by caravans made up of several camels in the heat of the day, when the ants were protected underground. You had to do it quickly, because the ants sensed the smell of people and went on the pursuit, and they were deadly dangerous.
