History
Stawiszyn was granted town rights before 1291.[1] It was a royal town of the Kingdom of Poland, administratively located in the Kalisz County in the Kalisz Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province.[2] The 1st Polish National Cavalry Brigade was stationed in the town.[3]
During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), two local Polish teachers were sent to the Mauthausen concentration camp and murdered there.[4] In 1943, the occupiers renamed the town to Stavensheim in attempt to erase traces of Polish origin.
