Page "Poznań" Paragraph 28

Due to the expulsions of Germans from Polish territory ( and the fact that many Germans had left as the Soviets advanced ), Poznań's post-war population was almost uniformly Polish.

The city again became a voivodeship capital ; in 1950 the size of Poznań Voivodeship was reduced, and the city itself was given separate voivodeship status.

This status was lost in the 1975 reforms, which also significantly reduced the size of Poznań Voivodeship.
