history

The place was first documented in 1229 as Luchany in a bull of Pope Gregory IX. mentioned for the Tyniec Abbey (it was owned by the monastery until 1815). The name, originally about * łączanie (* lǫk // * luk + suffix -anie), referred to the inhabitants of the place Łąka or Łąki (literally meadow or meadows) or the people who live between meadows.

The area between the rivers Skawa in the west and Skawinka in the east (with the exception of the Radwanite Corridor ) was separated from Lesser Poland in 1274 and attached to the Duchy of Opole . The Duchy of Opole was divided in 1281 after the death of Wladislaus I von Opole . From 1290 the area belonged to the Duchy of Teschen and from 1315 to the Duchy of Auschwitz , from 1327 under feudal rule of the Kingdom of Bohemia . Since 1445 it belonged to the Duchy of Zator , which was sold to the Polish king in 1494. In 1564, the duchies of Auschwitz and Zator became part of the Silesia region of the Krakow Voivodeship in the Kingdom of Poland , and from 1569 in the aristocratic republic of Poland-Lithuania .

During the first partition of Poland , Łączany became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire in 1772 (from 1804). From 1782 it belonged to the Myslenice district (1819 with the seat in Wadowice ). After the abolition of patrimonial it formed a parish in the judicial district of Wadowice in the Wadowice District after 1850 , from 1891 in the Zator judicial district, which was merged with the Oświęcim judicial district in 1910 to establish the Oświęcim district .

In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Łączany became part of Poland again. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II . It then belonged to the Krakow district in the General Government .

A canal through Łączany was planned as early as the 1880s. In 1901 it was decided to build the Oder-Vistula-Dniester Canal . The construction was started, but was advanced little when war broke out. It was not until 1955–1958 that the line between Łączany and Skawina was terminated and used by the thermal power station that was built at the same time .

From 1975 to 1998 Łączany belonged to the Bielsko-Biała Voivodeship .
