Administrative Division Of Poznań
Since 2011, the Polish city of Poznań has been divided into 42 ''osiedles'' or neighbourhoods, each of which has its own elected council with certain decision-making and spending powers. The first uniform elections for these councils were held on 20 March 2011. From 1954 to 1990, Poznań was divided into five ''dzielnicas'', called Stare Miasto, Poznań, Stare Miasto, Nowe Miasto, Poznań, Nowe Miasto, Jeżyce, Poznań, Jeżyce, Grunwald, Poznań, Grunwald and Wilda, Poznań, Wilda. These ceased to exist as governmental units in 1990, although they are still used as areas of jurisdiction for certain administrative offices. Some osiedle councils were set up during the years to 2010, but the present division introduced in 2011 is the first to provide a uniform set of units of this type covering the whole area of the city. Note that the city contains many housing estates and residential areas whose names include the word "osiedle"; not all of these are osiedles in the sense of the adm ...

31st Air Base
The 31st Air Base ( pl, 31. Baza Lotnicza), commonly known as Poznań-Krzesiny Airport is a Polish Air Force base and military airport, located in Krzesiny, part of the Nowe Miasto district of Poznań. The base was officially constituted on 31 December 2000, and since then has been the home base for the 3rd Tactical Squadron. It is the first base to host the recently acquired F-16 fighters. History In 1941, during its occupation of Poznań, Nazi Germany built an aircraft factory at Krzesiny (German: ''Luftwaffenfliegerhorst Kreising''), along with an airfield to service it. The factory, run by Focke-Wulf, was a target for Allied bombers in the course of the war, on 29 May 1944 for Eighth Air Force. On 22 January 1945 the airfield was captured by Red Army and taken over by the Soviet Air Force, which in turn passed it to the Polish military in 1954, which has used it since, hosting various units under changing designations: *since 1954: one of squadrons of 11th Fighter Reg ...

Starołęka
Starołęka (german: Luisenhain) is a historic neighbourhood, formerly a village, in the New City district of Poznań. It lies to the east of the Warta river. It was formed initially as the merger of two villages: Starołęka Mała and Starołęka Wielka (literally ''Little'' and ''Great''). Part of the lands used to belong to the Carmelite monastery and was integrated into the old Poznań voivodeship as far back as the 16th Century. In 1905 a lighted bridge was installed and a train station expanded; however the pre-existing smaller local railway station in turn was closed down resulting in (unsuccessful) local protests. In 1905 the local library society was founded, in 1908 the local volunteer fire brigade was formed. The area was under German occupation during World War II. Throughout its history the area has struggled to be incorporated into the city limits due to poor transportation links with the city centre; the roads were unlighted, unpaved and often muddy and the f ...
