history
A forged document from the middle of the 15th century, supposedly from 1310, mentioned Kziaznicze , but the first reliable mention is from 1400 as Xangnicze . The name, originally * Knięg (i) nice, is probably associated with the Benedictine Abbey in Staniątki .
Later the place became the seat of a tenuta . Politically, the place was initially part of the Kingdom of Poland (from 1569 in the aristocratic republic of Poland-Lithuania ), Krakow Voivodeship , Szczyrzyc District. When Poland was first partitioned , Książnice became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire in 1772 (from 1804).
In 1783, as part of the Josephine colonization, German Lutheran colonists were settled. The colony was named Fürstenau , a free translation of książę (Prince). The Protestants belonged to the Protestant community in New Gawlow . In 1900 there were in the now completely Polish-speaking community Książnice in the Wieliczka district, in addition to 711 Roman Catholics, there were also 18 Jews and only 3 other faiths .
In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Książnice came to Poland. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II .
From 1975 to 1998 Książnice belonged to the Tarnów Voivodeship .
