history

Atonement Cross in Bachowice

The area between the rivers Skawa in the west and Skawinka in the east 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 village belonged to the Duchy of Teschen . The village was first mentioned in a document from Mieszko I in 1297 as Bachowice . The name is patronymically derived from the first name Bach (possibly of German origin, or used with names beginning with Ba-, such as Bartłomiej) with the typical West Slavic suffix - (ow) ice. Kurt Lück suspected that the village might have had German settlers. It was mentioned as Bachwicz in a German-language document from King Wenceslaus IV of Prague in 1400 .

Since 1315 it belonged to the Duchy of Auschwitz , which from 1327 was under feudal rule of the Kingdom of Bohemia . Since 1445 it belonged to the Duchy of Zator , which was sold to Poland in 1494. Subsequently, the Auschwitz-Zator Duchy was completely attached to the Kingdom of Poland in 1564, as the Silesia District of the Krakow Voivodeship of the Polish-Lithuanian aristocratic republic (from 1569) . Around 1600 the village had over 200 inhabitants.

In 1488 the Dukes of Zator sold the village to the Myszkowski family, strong Calvinists during the Reformation . In the late 16th and early 17th centuries, the local chapel became the seat of a Reformed community.

During the first partition of Poland in 1772, Bachowice became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire (from 1804).

In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Bachowice became part of Poland again. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II . It then belonged, contrary to international law, to the district of Bielitz in the administrative district of Katowice in the province of Silesia (since 1941 province of Upper Silesia ), namely as one of the villages east of the Skawa, at that time Schaue , which became the border between the Third Reich and the Generalgouvernement .

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