history

The place was created in the 14th century at the latest. On April 15, 1339, the place was first mentioned in a document. In this knight Mesco von Kornitz bequeathed half of the place to the parish church in Ratibor. Czyprzanow was first mentioned in a document around 1430.

The place was mentioned in 1784 in the book Beytrage for the description of Silesia as Janowi (t) z , belonged to the cathedral capital of Ratibor and was in the principality of Ratibor. At that time it had 198 inhabitants, a church, a school, 16 farmers, 16 gardeners and five cottagers . The later district was mentioned as Cziprzanow and in Polish Pieprzanow , also belonged to the cathedral capital of Ratibor and was in the principality of Ratibor. At that time it had 193 residents, six farmers, 12 gardeners and cottagers. With the secularization in Prussia in 1810, the cathedral capital lost the two places as their property and it passed to the ducal fideikomiß. In 1865 Janowitz had a hereditary scholtisei, twelve farm positions, three half-farmers, 14 gardener positions and 13 cottagers positions, as well as a school, tailor and shoemaker and a brewery and a distillery that were not in operation. The church burned down in 1861. Czyprzanow fell victim to a major fire in 1861 and was therefore largely rebuilt. In 1865 it had six farmers, two gardeners, 15 cottages, as well as a water mill, a blacksmith, a carpenter, a saddler and a shopkeeper. The school was in Janowitz.

In the referendum in Upper Silesia on March 20, 1921, 262 local voters voted for Upper Silesia to remain with Germany and 52 for membership in Poland. In Czyprzanow, 103 voted for Germany and 32 for Poland. Janowitz stayed with the German Empire after the division of Upper Silesia . In 1928 Czyprzanow was incorporated into Janowitz. In 1936 the place was renamed Janken in the course of a wave of renaming of places during the Nazi era . Until 1945 the place was in the district of Ratibor .

In 1945 the until then German place came under Polish administration and was then attached to the Silesian Voivodeship and renamed the Polish Cyprzanów . In 1950 the place came to the Opole Voivodeship, 1975 to the Katowice Voivodeship and in 1999 to the re-established Powiat Raciborski and the Silesian Voivodeship.
