The Brynica [brɨˈɲit͡sa] ( German : Brinitz ) is a right and at the same time the largest tributary of the Black Przemsa in Poland .

It rises in the village of Mysłów near Myszków in the Upper Silesian Highlands, its source is 4 km northeast of the source of the Malapane .

The Brynica initially flows to the southwest. At Świerklaniec (Neudeck) it feeds the Kozłowa Góra reservoir and flows past the town of Piekary Śląskie (German Piekar) , where it changes direction to the southeast. The cities of Wojkowice and Czeladź lie along the route .

Brynica (above between Bytom and Siewierz), from 1443 as the new Silesian-Lesser Poland border

In 1443 the river became the new border between the historical regions of Silesia and Lesser Poland , namely in the sales document of the Duchy of Siewierz in the sentence:

"In primis itaque fatemur et recognoscumus quod terra praedicta et ducatus Severiensis circa oppidum Mysłowice, ubi fluvius Brynnica intrat Przemszam, incipiens, vadit et currit circa fluvium praedictum Brynnica superius fluid. C parte dextra in terra Severiensi (...) "

Silesia was then part of the Kingdom of Bohemia in the Holy Roman Empire , but during the Hussite Wars the Upper Silesian dukes became practically independent, which Poland strategically exploited to remove the border from the capital Krakow . In the interwar period, Brynica was the border between the autonomous Silesian Voivodeship and the Kielce Voivodeship . Initially, this status was changed by Germans in World War II by moving the border of Eastern Upper Silesia and after the war the Dombrowa coal basin remained east of the Brynica as the only non-Silesian area within the Silesian or Silesian-Dombrowa voivodeship.
