'''Biedrusko''' {{IPAc-pl|b|j|e|'|d|r|u|s|k|o}} is a [village](/source/village) in the administrative district of [Gmina Suchy Las](/source/Gmina_Suchy_Las), within [Poznań County](/source/Pozna%C5%84_County), [Greater Poland Voivodeship](/source/Greater_Poland_Voivodeship), in west-central Poland.{{TERYT}} In 2006 the village had a population of ~2,200.

Biedrusko is the centre of a large military training area of the [Polish Army](/source/Polish_Land_Forces). It contains an army barracks, a palace (undergoing restoration), and a large modern estate of apartment blocks.

==History==
Biedrusko was first recorded in the 13th century.<ref name=bie>{{cite web|url=http://www.biedrusko.org/informations/view/id/18/biedrusko_do_1918r|title=Biedrusko do 1918r.|website=Portal Biedrusko.org|accessdate=17 May 2020|language=Polish|archive-date=15 August 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200815195957/http://www.biedrusko.org/informations/view/id/18/biedrusko_do_1918r|url-status=dead}}</ref> The village belonged to the Cistercian order (according to various sources from 1242, 1491 or 1518),<ref name=bie/> and administratively it was part of the [Poznań Voivodeship](/source/Pozna%C5%84_Voivodeship_(14th_century_to_1793)) of the [Greater Poland Province of the Polish Crown](/source/Greater_Poland_Province_of_the_Polish_Crown) until the [Second Partition of Poland](/source/Second_Partition_of_Poland) in 1793 when it was annexed by [Prussia](/source/Kingdom_of_Prussia). The village was then subjected to [Germanisation](/source/Germanisation), and Prussians confiscated church goods and handed them over to German landowners in 1797.<ref name=bie/> From 1807 it was part of the short-lived Polish [Duchy of Warsaw](/source/Duchy_of_Warsaw), in 1815 it was re-annexed by Prussia, and from 1871 it was also part of [Germany](/source/Germany).

In 1904 the [German Army](/source/German_Army_(German_Empire)) bought the area, and then set up a large military training area. In November 1918, after [World War I](/source/World_War_I), Poland regained independence, and on December 28, 1918, Biedrusko was captured by [Polish insurgents](/source/Greater_Poland_uprising_(1918%E2%80%9319)), whose aim was to reintegrate the [Greater Poland](/source/Greater_Poland) region with Poland.<ref name=bie2>{{cite web|url=http://www.biedrusko.org/informations/view/id/19/biedrusko_w_latach_19181939|title=Biedrusko w latach 1918-1939|website=Portal Biedrusko.org|accessdate=17 May 2020|language=Polish|archive-date=15 August 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200815190830/http://www.biedrusko.org/informations/view/id/19/biedrusko_w_latach_19181939|url-status=dead}}</ref> The village was successfully restored to Poland, and the garrison was taken over by the [Polish Army](/source/Polish_Armed_Forces_(Second_Polish_Republic)). It has been in use by the Polish military since then, except during the [German occupation of Poland](/source/Occupation_of_Poland_(1939%E2%80%931945)) ([World War II](/source/World_War_II)) when the German Army used it again as the ''Warthelager'' training camp.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Kasernen/Wehrkreis21/KasernenWarthelager-R.htm|title=Garnison Warthelager - Lexikon der Wehrmacht|website=www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de|accessdate=12 September 2018}}</ref> This area includes the site of several now uninhabited former villages, including [Chojnica](/source/Chojnica%2C_Greater_Poland_Voivodeship), [Glinienko](/source/Glinienko), [Glinno](/source/Glinno%2C_Pozna%C5%84_County), [Knyszyna](/source/Knyszyna), [Łagiewniki](/source/%C5%81agiewniki%2C_Gmina_Suchy_Las), [Okalewo](/source/Okalewo%2C_Greater_Poland_Voivodeship), [Trzuskotowo](/source/Trzuskotowo) and [Tworkowo](/source/Tworkowo). Polish crafts, services and agriculture developed in the interbellum, and in 1937, the garrison was expanded.<ref name=bie2/>
