history

The place was first mentioned in a document in 1224 as a benchmark . The patronymic place name is derived from the personal name Bieniek ( Benedikt ) with the suffix -ice.

The village initially belonged to the Pauline basilica , from 1317 to the Florian basilica . In 1391 the first mill was built on the Dłubnia, in the second half of the 15th century a manor with a fore was built. Later it belonged to the canons of Wawel Cathedral and this made it e.g. B. managed by Hugo Kołłątaj .

When Poland was partitioned for the third time in 1795, it became part of the Habsburg Empire . In the years 1815–1846 the village belonged to the Republic of Kraków , in 1846 it was annexed to the Austrian Empire as part of the short-lived Grand Duchy of Kraków . From 1855 it was part of the Kraków District . At the end of the 19th century a railway line was run from Kraków to Kocmyrzów , which lasted until the 1970s.

In 1900 the Bieńczyce commune had 488 hectares, 104 houses with 700 inhabitants, all of whom were Polish-speaking, except for 684 Roman Catholics there were 15 Jews.

In 1949, construction of Nowa Huta began south of the old village, so Bieńczyce was incorporated into Krakow as the LIV cadastral district in 1951.

In the years 1962-1979 of Altdorf was the great west plate -Siedlung Bieńczyce Nowe built for around 30,000 inhabitants as expansion of Nowa Huta in the northwest. 1967–1977 the Church of the Mother of God, Queen of Poland , colloquially "Arka Pana", was built as the first church in a central area and not on the periphery of Nowa Huta, which is characterized by anti-religious and communist influences. It became an important symbol for the local Solidarność ("Solidarity"). On October 13, 1982, Bogdan Włosik was shot there by an SB (Security Service) captain.

Buildings from the time before Nowa Huta are rarely preserved today, of which the most important are: the Sokół building, an estate, the former train station, a mill ruin.
