History


The settlement was recorded in 1252 and named after the komes of Greater Poland, Rakoń. It received city rights in 1662 through the efforts of voyevoda of Poznań Krzysztof Grzymułtowski.

In the 17th century Rakoniewice was associated with the settlement of so-called dissenters who favored property owners. The city became a center of crafts.

In the years 1869-1872 Robert Koch, a German microbiologist and later Nobel laureate, conducted his first medical practice in the town, then part of Germany and known by its German name, Rakwitz.

In the years 1901 - 1906 the town, was the scene of school strikes. In 1919, after World War I, the town became part of Poland. Until 1975 was part of a municipality Rakoniewice Wolsztyn county.

In 1975-1998 the settlement belonged to the province Poznań.

Despite the historical, geographical, economic reasons to merge with the reconstituted municipality in 1999 wolsztyńskim district and opposition of local residents of the villages for a better location for Wolsztyn, Rakoniewice joined the county Grodzisk.
