history

In the 9th – 10th In the 19th century there was a large Slavic rampart on the Chełmiecka Góra hill .

Since 1257 the village belonged to the holy Duchess Kinga of Poland and from about 1280 to the Poor Clares in Stary Sącz , when it was first mentioned as Chelmecz . The topographical name is derived from the appellative chełmiec (hill).

Politically and administratively, the private village belonged to the Kingdom of Poland (from 1569 in the aristocratic republic of Poland-Lithuania ), Krakow Voivodeship , Sącz District.

After the First Partition of Poland , Chełmiec became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire (from 1804).

In 1783, 19 families of German colonists of different denominations were settled in the course of the Josephine colonization . The village was divided into two parts: Chełmiec Polski , literally Polish Chełmiec, and Chełmiec Niemiecki , German Hundsdorf . The Protestants belonged to the parish in Nowy Sącz. By the end of the 19th century, the descendants of the colonists were partly Polonized, similar to many other Galician Germans from the area around Neu Sandez . In 1900 the Chełmiec Polski community had 752 inhabitants in 104 houses, all of whom were Polish-speaking, 701 were Roman Catholic, there were 33 Jews and 18 of other faiths (mostly Protestant), while the Chełmiec Niemiecki or Hundsdorf community had 225 houses in 33 houses Inhabitants, of whom 138 were Polish-speaking, 87 were German-speaking, 96 were Roman Catholic, there were 24 Jews and 105 of other faiths (predominantly Protestant).

In 1804 the local estate was bought by Jan Wittig von Stuckfeld from Bavaria .

In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Chełmiec came to Poland. This was interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II , during which it was part of the Krakow district in the Generalgouvernement .

From 1975 to 1998 Chełmiec was part of the Nowy Sącz Voivodeship .

The place became the urbanized suburb of Nowy Sącz. From 2016, the municipal self-government tried to maintain the status of a city. But this became a controversy. The Polish Council of Ministers intervened and the Constitutional Court investigated. Chełmiec was supposed to be elevated to the city on January 1, 2020, but this was prohibited. The community self-government continues the efforts.
