history

Groß Chelm was first mentioned in 1368. At that time the village belonged to the Duchy of Ratibor , from which it was cut off like its neighboring towns of Kosztow and Imielin by the extensive forests in the headwaters of the Klodnitz and Mleczna. In 1391, Duke Johann II donated the three villages on the Przemsa on the eastern border of his Duchy of Ratibor to Bishop Johann III of Krakow . Radlica . The diocese, which previously held the manorial power, released the three villages from Silesia , as it also claimed sovereignty. While the surrounding areas came under the Bohemian Crown in the 16th century , the enclave remained in Polish hands. After the conquest of Silesia by Prussia , Frederick II demanded the handover of the enclave, which was incorporated into Prussian territory in 1772. After the diocese renounced the manorial rule, the Imielin office came into being . In 1807 this office was assigned to the newly established Principality of Siewierz under Marshal Jean Lannes, Duke of Montebello , due to its earlier affiliation to the Diocese of Krakow and returned to Prussia in 1817. In 1818 Groß Chelm became part of the district of Pless .

After the referendum in Upper Silesia in 1921, the place belonged to East Upper Silesia , which passed to Poland after a decision by the League of Nations in 1922. From 1939 to 1945 the place was again part of the German Reich.

In 1945 the places Chełm (Groß Chelm), Goławiec (Gollawietz), Górki (Gurkau) and Kopciowice (Kopziowitz) were combined to form the municipality of Chełm Wielki, which later received the name Chełm Śląski. In 1951 a fan factory was established.

Between 1954 and 1972 Chełm was the seat of the Gromada Chełm .

The place was incorporated into Imielin in 1973 . Together with Imielin, Chełm Śląski became part of Tychy in 1975 and from 1977 of Mysłowice .

On January 1, 1995, the place got its independence back, the newly formed municipality still includes the districts Kopciowice (Kopziowitz) and Chełm Mały (Klein Chelm).
