	Poznań University was established in 1919 and it quickly became clear that it was necessary to build dormitories for incoming students. Between 1925 and 1929, with the efforts of Poznań Voivodeship Committee for Helping Young Polish Students, the building that exists until the present day (now “Hanka” dormitory at Aleje Niepodległości) was built at Wały Leszczyńskiego. It had rooms for students and common rooms, e. g. a reading room, a chapel and a canteen. The construction was an initiative supported by the community of Greater Poland and it catered not only for students’ needs, but also for guests coming to Poznań to see the Polish General Exhibition. Initially, the University was supposed to be the owner of the building. However, until 1939, it was impossible to regulate the ownership, despite Vice-chancellor’s efforts.
