History
Młyniewo was a private village of Polish nobility, administratively located in the Kościan County in the Poznań Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland.[2]
During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), in 1939–1940, the occupiers operated a transit camp for expelled Poles from the region in Młyniewo.[3] The camp's inmates slept on a floor covered with a thin layer of straw.[3] Women with children were kept in separate barracks.[3] Afterwards, it was converted into a prisoner-of-war camp for Allied POWs. There is a memorial at the site.
