Poznan became first seat of bishop Jordan, who after converting of Mieszko I to christianity became missionary bishop of Poland (968-982?. The Bishopric of Poznan was created in 999, formally in 1000 at the [meeting in Gniezno]?, under jurisdiction of archibishopric of Gniezno?. It used to be for a while suffragan of Magdeburg, probably between 1004-1012, probably because bishop of Poznan, Unger, was prisoned in Magdeburg and released when he recognize jurisdiction of Magdeburg, or maybe because Unger was dissapointed with not being choosed for new archbishop of Poland (since he was missionary bishop of Poland before 1000, after Jordan's death). After Unger's death bishopric of Poznan returned to Gniezno? dioecesis. Archibishops of Magdeburg tried to join bishopric of Poznan to their dioecesis, making few falsificates, and they suceeded in 1133, when Poznan was attached to the archbishop of Magdeburg. However in 1136 Pope again confirmed that Poznan was suffragan of Gniezno.
