history

The place in the Duchy of Teschen under the sovereignty of the Crown of Bohemia was first mentioned in 1380 as Nowe Kunczicze (?). Later it appeared in the documents as too little Kunczendorf (1388), Male Kuncicze (1476), in the Klein Kuntschitz (1652), Male Kunczicze (1673). The current form of the patronymic name Kunčice with the addition "Klein / Male" (in contrast to Kunčice or Groß Kunzendorf / Kuntschitz in the south) appeared in 1679 as na Malych Kunczyczkach .

From the first half of the 16th century until 1899 there was a castle in the village. Until 1673 it was regarded as a district of Polish Ostrau . In the description of Teschener Schlesiens by Reginald Kneifl in 1804, Kuntschitz (Klein) was German: Klein-Kunzendorf a village under the rule of Polish-Ostrava of Count Joseph Wlczek in the Teschner district . The village had a manorial farm , 33 houses with 213 inhabitants in Silesian-Moravian dialect , which were parish in Polish Ostrava.

After the abolition of patrimonial it became a district of the municipality of Polish Ostrau in Austrian Silesia , in the Friedek district , from 1866 an independent municipality in the Freistadt district founded in 1868 . At this time, industrialization followed in the area, in Klein Kuntschitz itself at the end of the 19th century with the Alexander colliery. The number of inhabitants rose to 477 by 1869, then to 755 (725 with registration) by 1880 and to 4607 (4568) in 1910. The increase in the number of inhabitants accelerated, especially after the large influx of people into the Ostrau-Karwiner coal and industrial area, mainly cheap workers from Galicia in the 1880s. Poles made up only 0.3% (2 people) of local residents in 1880, but their number increased from 12% in 1890 to 64.5% (2155 people) in 1900, while the number of Czech speakers from 93, 2% in 1880 fell to 27.5% in 1900 (German speakers made up from 3.5% in 1890 and 8% in 1900). In the early 20th century, a national conflict flared up between Poles and Czechs. The Czech activists sought to stop the trend of decline in the Czech population. As early as 1898 the first and one Czech-speaking elementary school in the village was opened, where the Galician miners were urged by Czech employers to send their children. On January 1, 1904, 7 traditional Czech-speaking municipalities in the Oderberg judicial district in the Freistadt district were separated to create the new Polish Ostrava judicial district in the Friedek district. In 1910 the municipality had an area of ​​409 hectares, 260 buildings with 4607 inhabitants, 4568 of which had to be registered - only these were asked for their colloquial language: 3480 (75.5%) were Czech, 890 (19.3%) were Polish and 198 (4.3%) German-speaking; 4,352 (94.5% of the total community population) were Roman Catholics, 215 (4.7%) Protestants, 30 (0.7%) Jews, 10 (0.2%) of other faiths.

Alexander colliery in 2005

After the First World War and the collapse of the Habsburg monarchy , the area of ​​Cieszyn Silesia was controversial. On November 5, 1918, the Polish National Council of the Duchy of Teschen (Rada Narodowa Kięstwa Cieszyńskiego, RNKC) and the Czech Territorial Committee (Zemský národní výbor, ZNV) agreed that Kunčičky, like the entire Friedek district , should be part of Czechoslovakia. On the Czech side, also behind the Ostrawitza in Moravia, there remained tens of thousands of Poles, mostly Galician immigrants, over 20% of the population of the Polish judicial district of Ostrava. Unlike the altansässigen Wasserpolaken from the area of Cieszyn Silesian dialect they were still illiterate for the most part and in comparison to the enlightened Poland in accordance with the Czechoslovak Polish border war arose region Olsagebiet they tschechisierten in the interwar period relatively quickly (in the census In 1921 there were only 877 or 1.9% Polish nationalities in the judicial district). A trace of them are the numerous surnames in the Polish spelling.

Local church

In the years 1927 to 1928 the first brick church was built and inaugurated on November 11, 1928 by the Cardinal and Archbishop of Wroclaw Adolf Bertram , after 1935 a branch in the Deanery of Silesian Ostrau. From 1939 the place was in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia . The ecclesiastical branch became one of the 17 parishes of the Archdiocese of Breslau in the Protectorate. In 1919 the incorporation into Mährisch Ostrau was considered in order to create "Groß Ostrau", but was not incorporated into Ostrau until July 1, 1941 during the German occupation. The Soviets liberated it on May 1, 1945. Between 1948 and 1950 the communists built the park oddechu a koupaliště (from 1951 Sad Maxima Gorkého ) for the proletariat and later a zoo, which was relocated in 1960. The Alexander colliery was closed in 1992. The number of inhabitants decreased from 5,639 in 1950 to 1,531 in 1991.
