History


On October 1, 1887, the Lissa district was formed from the eastern part of the Fraustadt district. The city of Lissa was the district capital.
On December 27, 1918, the Greater Poland uprising began in the province of Posen, and by January 1919 the north-eastern part of the district around the town of Storchnest was under Polish control. The south-western part of the district, including Lissa and Reisen remained under German control.
On February 16, 1919, an armistice ended the Polish-German fighting, and on June 28, 1919, the German government officially ceded the Lissa district to newly founded Poland with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. On November 25, 1919, Germany and Poland concluded an agreement on the evacuation and surrender of the areas to be ceded, which was ratified on January 10, 1920. The evacuation of the remaining area under German control including the district town of Lissa and the handover to Poland took place between January 17 and February 4, 1920.
