The traditions of the Poznań University of Life Sciences date back to the 1970s. At that time, thanks to August Cieszkowski, a Higher Agricultural School was established in Żabików (near Poznań). It was the only Polish higher school on the Prussian-occupied Polish lands. Unfortunately, after seven years, the school was closed down. Despite its short period of operation, it had a significant impact on the level of agriculture in Wielkopolska, and also highlighted the need to establish a strong academic university in Poznań. This happened in 1919, during the Great Polish Uprising, when the university, initially called the Piast University, and later the University of Poznań, began its activities. Its integral part was the Faculty of Agricultural and Forestry Sciences. The first academic classes began in October 1919 and continued uninterruptedly for many years. During the ongoing Second World War, students of the Faculty of Agricultural and Forestry Sciences studied at the secret Western Lands University.
The separation of the Agricultural and Forestry Department from the structures of the Poznań University took place in 1951 by virtue of a decree of the Council of Ministers. A new university was then established, which was named the Higher Agricultural School. In subsequent years, additional departments were opened at the agricultural school: Zootechnic, Wood Technology, Horticultural, Agricultural – Food Technology, Water Management and Economically-Social. In 1972, the university changed its name to the Agricultural Academy, and August Cieszkowski (founder of the WSR named after Halina in Żabikowo) became its patron. The current name, the Poznań University of Life Sciences, was given by law on February 7, 2008.
This year marks exactly 150 years since August Cieszkowski began creating this rich history that led to the establishment of the well-known Poznań agricultural university.
