history

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 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 .

The village in an exclave of the Duchy of Auschwitz was first mentioned in 1335 in the Tyniec Abbey document on the sale of the Schulzenamt in the village of Rzozów, which bordered the village of Werneri . The original name was derived from the German personal name Werner . In the founding privilege of the town of Zator from 1292, the Auschwitz comes palatinus named Werner was mentioned, while in 1361 a certain Werner de Hepnewalth bought the Schulzenamt in Barwałd Dolny . Both could be meant as the founders of the village, although the first known owner was Dzierżko de Wernerivilla in 1357. The name Borek (diminutive form of bór - coniferous forest ) did not appear until 1449. From 1445 it belonged to the new Duchy of Zator , which was sold to Poland in 1494. Besides Rzozów, before 1494 it was the closest village outside of Poland to the Polish capital Kraków (16 km in a straight line to Kraków's Market Square ). From 1564 Borek was next to Gołuchowice and Polanka Hallera the easternmost village in the Silesian district of the Kraków Voivodeship , and from 1569 in the aristocratic republic of Poland-Lithuania .

During the first partition of Poland in 1772, Borek came to the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire (from 1804). In the 19th century the adjective Szlachecki ( noble ) was added to the place name. From 1782 the village belonged to the Myslenice district (1819 with the seat in Wadowice ). After the abolition of patrimonial it made after 1850, a municipality in the district Skawina, from 1867 in the judicial district Skawina the district Wadowice , from 1878 in the judicial district Kalwarya in district Myślenice . From 1899 back in the judicial district of Skawina.

In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Borek Szlachecki came to Poland (Gmina Radziszów, Powiat Kraków, Kraków Voivodeship ). 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 .

From 1945 to 1998 Borek Szlachecki was part of the Kraków Voivodeship.
