Rostarzewo (1898-1919 Rothenburg an der Obra), nowadays a large village in the western part of the Wielkopolska Region, existed 1752-1934 as a city. The big edifice of the town hall, situated in the centre of the village, was build in the 18th century by the German settlers. Polish inhabitant of the city, nobleman Maciej Malczewski, invited not only German townsmen, but also peasants, who settled in the villages around Rostarzewo. The newcomers, mostly Protestants (Lutherans), founded a new Protestant parish, which embraced the city Rostarzewo and the villages: Stodolsko, Gola, Głodno, Barłożnia, Łąkie, Dąbrowa, Zdrogowo. The number of the Catholic population in Rostarzewo decreased so rapidly, that the old Catholic church in the city was destroyed in 1823. The nearest Catholic parish church as well as the residence of Malczewski and the following Polish inhabitants of the estates in Rostarzewo, was situated in Gościeszyn. The city Rostarzewo built up its position on agriculture and trade. The lack of modern industry and state offices contributed to the decline of the urban economy in the late 19th century, but it also preserved the traditional social structure, dating from the 18th century. The increased power of nationalism and the Polish-German conflict in the borderland forced many Germans the leave Rostarzewo after 1919. The end of the Protestant parish brought the Second World War and the following expulsion of the Germans from Poland.
