Bambers
Bambers, also known as Poznań Bambergians, are Poles who are partly descended from Germans who moved from the area of Bamberg (Upper Franconia, Germany) to villages surrounding Poznań, Poland. They settled in villages which had been destroyed during the Great Northern War and the subsequent epidemic of plague, including: 1719 in Luboń 1730 in Dębiec, Jeżyce, Winiary and Bonin 1746–1747 in Rataje and Wilda 1750–1753 in Jeżyce and Górczyn == History and meaning == After the economically important villages surrounding Poznań were devastated by the war and the plague, the city authorities decided to attempt to replenish their population through immigration.
