As part of the region of Greater Poland, i.e. the cradle of the Polish state, the area formed part of Poland since its establishment in the 10th century. Marchwacz was a private church village, administratively located in the Kalisz County in the Kalisz Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland. [2]

In 1827, it had a population of 126. [3] According to the 1921 census, the village with the adjacent manor farm had a population of 424, entirely Polish by nationality and Roman Catholic by confession. [4]

Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the village was occupied by Germany. Shortly before their withdrawal, on January 21–22, 1945, German troops committed a massacre of 57 Polish inhabitants of Marchwacz, six other Poles, and twelve captured Soviet prisoners of war (see Nazi crimes against the Polish nation ).
