Krzyż Wielkopolski [ˈkʂɨʂ vʲɛlkɔˈpɔlskʲi] (German: Kreuz) is a town in Poland, with 6,317 inhabitants (2004) in Czarnków-Trzcianka County, Greater Poland Voivodship. It is an important railroad junction, with two major lines crossing there - the Berlin - Bydgoszcz and Poznań - Szczecin connections. The town owns its existence to the rail, as developed only after 1848, when the Poznań - Szczecin line was opened. In fact its name (Krzyz in English means cross) reflects the fact that rail lines cross there. Krzyz was area of heavy Polish-German fighting in 1919, during the Greater Poland Uprising (1918–1919) and it remained part of Germany in the interbellum period, located only 2 kilometers from then-borderline. It was incorporated as a town in 1936 and after World War II it became part of Poland.
