Wersk [vɛrsk] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Zakrzewo, within Złotów County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, in north-central Poland. [1]
As of 1467, the territory of Wersk was still forested, [2] but soon, by the 16th century, the village had developed. Wersk was a private village of Polish nobility, administratively located in the Nakło County in the Kalisz Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland. [3] It was annexed by Prussia in the First Partition of Poland in 1772, and from 1871 it was also part of Germany. In 1885, it had a population of 281. [2]
In 1939, the Germans persecuted local Polish activists, who were either expelled or arrested and afterwards executed (see Nazi crimes against the Polish nation). [4] [5] After Germany's defeat in World War II, in 1945, the village was restored to Poland.
