Free State of Schwenten (German: Freistaat Schwenten; Polish: Wolne Państwo Świętno), also known as Republic of Świętno (Polish: Republika Świętnieńska), was an independent state proclaimed in 1919 with the capital in Schwenten. The declaration of independence had defensive role as local government was aware of the Polish uprising in Greater Poland. It existed for 7 months until it joined Weimar Republic.[1]
