Summary/Abstract: The Evangelical-Augsburg Church traces its origins to the 16 century, but during Poland's national captivity found itself under the influence of the occupation authorities. After the Poland regained its independence the Church experienced a period of development and uninhibited activity. This was also a time of establishing relations with the reborn Polish state. The task was undertaken by Bishop Juliusz Bursche of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church. This period of development was brought to a halt by the outbreak of WW II, and after it ended, the communist system was installed in Poland. The act of 4 July 1947 definitively negated the pre-war achievements.
