geography
Frampol is located in the southern part of the Lublin Voivodeship about 60 kilometers south of Lublin . The state border between Poland and Ukraine runs around 75 kilometers southeast of the city .
history
In 1705 Frampol was founded by Franciszek Butler . 1738 received the place from August III. the right to hold five annual markets and one weekly market . In the same year or two years before, Frampol received city rights . In 1740 a wooden church was built and consecrated to St. John of Nepomuk . In 1773 there were four guilds in the city; the guild of weavers , cobblers , butchers and potters . In the same year the citizens of the city received the right to elect their own mayor and aldermen . During the third partition of Poland , the city came under the rule of Austria in 1795. This lasted until the formation of the Duchy of Warsaw in 1809, of which Frampol became a part and finally became part of Congress Poland in 1815 . In 1869 the city lost its town charter when Tsar Alexander II reduced the number of towns on Polish territory. In 1878 a synagogue was built in Frampol. On September 13, 1939, the city was bombed by the German Air Force , 90 percent of which was destroyed. It is believed that the severe destruction of the militarily insignificant city was a test of the capabilities of the area bombing .
In mid-September the Red Army marched into the city. But this only stayed in the city for a short time before the German Wehrmacht took control in October. In January 1942 there were the first executions of Jews and Poles by the Germans. The deportation of the Jews was supposed to begin in August 1942, but many had already fled to the surrounding villages and forests. In November 1942 the last Jews in the city were deported to the Majdanek concentration camp and the Belzec extermination camp . The occupation by the Germans ended in 1944. During an administrative reform in the People's Republic of Poland , Frampol came to the Zamość Voivodeship in 1975 . In 1993 the place was given city rights again. With another administrative reform in Poland, the city became part of the Lublin Voivodeship in 1999 .
Population development
In 1827 there were 669 inhabitants, of which 207 were Jews . In 1857 there were 1,479 people, 659 of whom were Jewish. In 1880 the population had risen to 2,154, of which 1,189 were Jews. In 1939, when the Second World War broke out, around 4,000 people lived in the town. As a result of the Second World War, especially the bombing in 1939 and the deportation and murder of the Jews, the population fell sharply and amounted to 1,266 in 1946. In December 2006 the population was 1,421.
