Standesamt Margonin

Standesamt Margonin

Standesamt Margonin was a civil registration district (Standesamt) located in Kreis Kolmar, province of Posen of the German Empire (1871–1918) and administered the communities of:

Bud = Budsin; Kol = Kolmar; Mar = Margonin; Wil = Wilhelmstreu

Margonin was on the north end of a finger lake, where a mill stream slowly emptied the lake into the Netze (Polish: Notec) River. The Margonin lake dominated the southern portion of the Standesamt's area, blocking any east/west traffic. From Margonin, one could go north through Samotschin's area and on to the river, where a bridge provided access to southern Kreis Wirsitz. West of Margonin, the road and railroad diverge on their way to the Kreis seat of Kolmar (Chodziesen; Polish: "Chodzież"). The railroad swung north to Samotschin before following the bluff overlooking the river plain farming villages. The road ran westward and then swung north to meet up with the railroad on the last few clicks on the bluff to Kolmar. In the other direction, the road and railroad ran east and a little south, towards Gollantsch and Kreis Exin, passing through the strip of Kreis Wongrowitz that pushes northward to claim its token piece of the Netze river bank. The only major road to the south, exited Margonin at the southeast, arched a little east on its way south to the town of Wongrowitz, seat of its Kreis.

Woods could be found on the east of the lake, northeast past the Margoninsdorf estate and forestry school, and northwest, on the western side of the millstream. Several mills shared the stream in this area. Aside from the mills, very little industry existed, apart from the weavers and their looms in the early days, and some brewing, a privilege held by the small Jewish population.

Margonin was a market town, and had churches for all three faiths. The Catholic parish church belonged to the deanery of Czarnikau, which was part of the Posen diocese.

The town suffered destruction by the Swedes, by floods and cholera.
