history

The place was first mentioned as Balin in 1356 , when the local mayor was granted the privilege of King Casimir the Great to be one of the lay judges of the Supreme Court of German law in Krakow. Thereafter the name appeared as Sbalina (1392), Balin (1400), Balylyn (1470-1480), Balin (1680), also as Balina , Balyny , Bolmy , Balyn , Balyny , Balylyna . The etymology of the name is unclear, most likely, like other places called Balin , the name is possessedly derived from the personal name Bala, but could also come from the German word Baling , an old term for the open pit mining of the Galmei , which is why it was used by the Nazi historian Kurt Lück referred to as the German settlement of Ballingen .

The place initially belonged to the Kingdom of Poland (from 1569 aristocratic republic Poland-Lithuania ), Krakow Voivodeship , Proszowice district (later Kraków district). When Poland was partitioned for the third time in 1795, Balin became part of the Habsburg Empire . In the years 1815-1846 the village belonged to the Republic of Krakow , in 1846 it was annexed again as part of the Grand Duchy of Krakow to the countries of the Austrian Empire. After the abolition of patrimonial , it formed a municipality in the Chrzanów district after 1850 .

In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Balin became part of Poland. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II . It then belonged to the district of Krenau in the administrative district of Katowice in the province of Silesia (since 1941 province of Upper Silesia ). From 1975 to 1998 Balin was part of the Katowice Voivodeship .
