background
The Kuyavian region was formed after the fragmentation of Poland after 1138. It was the princes of Kuyavia who reunified Poland in the 13th and 14th centuries. It is true that they then ruled out Krakow, but their homeland remained Kuyavia. In the 14th century the crusaders of the Teutonic Order tried to take Kuyavia. After the Battle of Płowcy in 1313, they withdrew. In the 15th century, the trading towns on the Vistula flourished, above all Toruń, the native city of Nicolaus Copernicus. After Krakow, Toruń has the most architectural monuments in Poland. The Golden Age lasted until around 1650 when the Swedes sacked the region. After the First and Second Partition of Poland in 1772 and 1793, Kujawy came to Prussia as part of the newly founded West Prussia. In the meantime it belonged to the Grand Duchy of Warsaw during the Napoleonic period from 1807 to 1815. It became Polish again after the First World War. During the Second World War it was part of West Prussia or the Warthegau. After 1945 it came back to Poland.
In 1999, today's Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship was formed.
language
German is often spoken in the cities, otherwise you can of course get quite far with English. In rural areas away from the main tourist regions, it becomes more difficult to communicate with German and English. Knowledge of other Slavic languages can be helpful. And finally, Polish is not as difficult to learn as you might think at first.
