Września is best known within Poland for the 1901–1902 school strike, when local children and their families resisted Prussian attempts to impose German in religious instruction. The town lies on the Wrześnica River in eastern Greater Poland, amid the lowland farmland of the Wielkopolska region. A monument in the centre commemorates the children of Września, while the local regional museum preserves material connected with the town’s past. The strike became an enduring symbol of Polish resistance to Germanisation under Prussian rule. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Greater Poland Voivodeship.
