Geographical location

history

The first written mention of today's Kozienice comes from the year 1206. The first church of the place was built in 1394.

On January 1, 1467, the future King of Poland Sigismund I was born here. Around 1500 Sigismund I donated an altar for the church to commemorate his birth. In 1549 King Sigismund II granted Kozienice town charter under German law. In 1559 the law was extended and the city was now allowed to hold three annual markets .

On April 6, 1656, during the Second Northern War near Kozienice, there was a battle between the Polish army under Stefan Czarniecki and the Swedes under Tornskjöld . The Poles won the battle. In the following year, 1657, the city was destroyed by the Swedes. Johann III. Sobieski relieved the city of all burdens in 1685 for 15 years. During the Great Northern War , Kozienice was again destroyed by Swedish troops in 1704. In 1782 a fire destroyed large parts of the city. When Poland was partitioned , Kozienice became part of Russia. In the 1840s an evangelical branch parish of Radom was established in Kozienice , which included the " Dutch " settlements from the 18th century in the Vistula Valley, as well as new colonies in the area (Wólka Tyrzyńska, Chinów , Paciorkowa Wola, Łuczyńska Kolonia), in 1845 a total of 366 Protestants. In 1921 there were already 2,369 Protestants in the powiat Kozienicki - the largest number among the powiat of the Kielce Voivodeship (1919–1939) , but only 4 in Kozienice itself.

During the Second World War , the city was occupied by the German Wehrmacht in September 1939, who set fire to the castle and the synagogue on September 12, 1939. During the occupation , an assembly camp for Jews was set up, which was eliminated in 1942, and those who still survived were deported to the Treblinka extermination camp . The Jewish part of the population made up about half of the population and was almost completely killed in labor, concentration or extermination camps . On January 15, 1945, the occupation by the Germans ended and the city became part of Poland again.
