Chropaczów (German until 1909 Chropaczow; 1909-1922 and 1939-1945 Schlesiengrube ) has been one of five districts of the Upper Silesian industrial town of Świętochłowice in the Silesian Voivodeship in Poland since 1951 .
geography
Chropaczów occupies the northeastern part of the urban area. In the north Chropaczów borders on Bytom ( Bytom ) , in the east on Chorzów (Königshütte) , in the south directly on the Piaśniki district and in the west on the Lipiny district .
history
The name was first mentioned in documents Chropazcow in on July 21, 1295 from Beuthener Duke Casimir II. Issued deed. This makes Chropaczów the oldest part of today's city of Świętochłowice. However, the documentary mention did not refer to the place itself, but to its owner, knight Johannes von Chropaczow, who appears as a witness in this document. The Chropaczow manor probably existed for more than 100 years. Later Chropaczow was given German law, but still remained only a small village with only ten house owners in the 15th century. In contrast, Johann von Oppeln's index of places dated June 18, 1513 shows that Chropaczow, a large town , had supplied building materials for the reconstruction of the Neudeck Castle . For the year 1532 the spellings Cropotschuff and Kratschuff of the place name have been handed down.
The owners of the estate changed frequently. On September 19, 1799, Karl Johann Woyrsch bought the villages of Kamin and Chropaczow for 40,000 thalers and sold this property in 1802 for 80,000 thalers to Georg Karl von Hessen-Darmstadt. In 1806, the Bavarian King Maximilian I took over the property for 90,000 thalers and industrialization also took hold in Chropaczow at that time : Since 1823, coal deposits have been sought in the area and the König-Saul-Grube , the first coal mine , was built in 1825 Zinkhütte David followed, of which Maximilian I contributed half of the small profit. The small street village Chropaczow was finally acquired with the nearby Lipine (together 213 hectares ) on July 2, 1826 by the industrialist Carl Lazarus Henckel von Donnersmarck . Carl Lazarus opened the Quintoforo mine in the same year , and with the Mathildegrube and the Franz mine , a total of three coal mines were built by 1835.
As industrial development progressed, the population also increased, so that in addition to new residential buildings and colonies, a school was built in 1866, but it was soon no longer sufficient, so that a second had to be built in 1898. In 1883, the Schlesiengrube was founded as a merger of smaller coal mines north of the village. Schlesiengrube was then also the new place name when Chropaczow was renamed in 1909 by royal decree. The municipal administration received a town hall in 1911.
Ecclesiastically, Chropaczow became part of the newly founded parish of St. Barbara in Königshütte in 1852 , until then it had belonged to the Magdalene parish of Beuthen . In 1872 Lipine became Chropaczows parish, even if Lipine was part of the Chropaczow parish at that time. This changed on April 1, 1879, when Lipine was excluded as an independent municipality.
Accompanied by three Polish uprisings and propagandistic circumstances, the referendum took place in Upper Silesia on March 20, 1921, which resulted in a majority of 65.76% in Schlesiengrube, or 2,583 of the 3,928 valid votes for annexation to Poland. As a result of the division of Upper Silesia, Schlesiengrube found itself in 1922, again renamed Chropaczów , within the borders of Poland.
During the invasion of Poland in 1939 Chropaczów was from the German Wehrmacht occupied and was illegal under international law since 1941 part of the Gaus Upper Silesia in the " Greater German Reich ". In January 1945 the place was liberated by the Red Army and part of Poland again.
On March 17, 1951 Chropaczów lost its independence and became together with Lipiny district of Świętochłowice .
