history

The place was founded around 1430 and was mentioned as Czyczow in 1456 . The possessive name is derived from the personal name Cyc with the suffix -ów.

Administratively it belonged to the Polish Chełmer Land of the Ruthenian Voivodeship . An Orthodox church was built before 1473, after the Brest Greek Catholic Union .

During the Third Partition of Poland in 1795, Cyców and Western Galicia were attached to the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire . In 1809 he came to the Duchy of Warsaw and in 1815 to the newly formed Russian-dominated Congress Poland . Significant changes came after 1864. Cyców became a parish in the Powiat Chełmski. Until 1880 it was inhabited by Polish / Roman Catholic and Ruthenian / Greek Catholic populations. The estates were mostly parceled out between 1880 and 1881 and many new German farmers, mainly from Sompolno near Konin , settled there, attracted by cheap arable fields. At that time an evangelical chapel and a school were built. The newly arrived Jews founded a cemetery, among other things. In 1906 Ferdinand Hanke, a German colonist from Cyców, became a member of the first State Duma . In 1875 the Greek Catholic Church was abolished, the local church was renamed the Russian Orthodox Church and the Ruthenians were considered Russian by the administration. In 1912 the Chełm governorate with Cyców was spun off from the Weichselland and, as an originally Russian country, was directly attached to Russia.

After the peace of bread on February 9, 1918, the area is said to belong to the Ukrainian People's Republic , but after the end of the First World War Cyców became part of Poland. 15.-16. August 1920 a battle of the Polish-Soviet War took place near Cyców . In 1921 the church became Roman Catholic as part of the state “revindication”. In 1921 the municipality of Cyców and the colony of Cyców had a total of 108 houses with 852 inhabitants, of which 431 declared themselves as Poles, 321 as Germans, 49 as Ruthenians and 46 as Jews, according to religion 174 were Roman Catholic, 175 Orthodox, 321 Protestant , 181 Jewish. In 1925 Cyców became the seat of a Lutheran parish of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland , which comprised around 5,000 members in numerous localities in the area (see Cholmerländer ).

During the Second World War it belonged to the Lublin district in the Generalgouvernement . From 1975 to 1998 Cyców was part of the Chełm Voivodeship . In 1940, most of the local Germans left the village when they were resettled to Wartheland as part of the Hitler-Stalin Pact . The multiculturalism was ended by the Holocaust and the Vistula action .
