Poznan is Poland's fifth largest city and fourth biggest industrial centre. It is also the administrative capital of the Greater Poland Voivodeship.

Poznan's cathedral is the oldest in the country, containing the tombs of the first Polish rulers: Duke Mieszko I, King Boleslaus the Brave, King Mieszko II, Duke Casimir I the Restorer, Duke PrzemysÅ‚ I, and King PrzemysÅ‚ II. Poznan has been an important center of trade since the Middle Ages. Starting in the 19th century, local heavy industry began to grow. Several major factories were built, including the steel mill and railway factory of Hipolit Cegielski (see H. Cegielski - Poznan S.A.). Today Poznan is one of the major centers of trade with Germany. Many Western European companies started their Polish branches in Poznan, or in the nearby localities of Tarnowo Podgórne and SwarzÄ™dz. It is the site of annual Poznan International Fair.
