Lednica Górna is a village with a school administration of Gmina Wieliczka in the Powiat Wielicki of the Lesser Poland Voivodeship in Poland .
history
The village of Lednica was first mentioned in a document in 1361. The name is derived from the ancient Slavic * ledьnica (cave / pit for ice). From around the middle of the 15th century, two places were distinguished: Lednicza Inferior (1459; Lednica Dolna, later probably also Minor / Parva , about Klein Lednica) and Maior Lesznicza (1463; probably the later Lednica Górna or Lednicza Superior , also Magna , such as Groß Lednica and utraque - Alt ?) Lednica Dolna was in the west, closer to the town of Wieliczka , whose axis was along today's street Mietnikowska , was bought bit by bit by the town council between 1381 and 1389, after which it was closely economically connected to the town and gradually from the 16th century urbanized. Lednica Górna was a clustered village on a hill in the southwest of the city, although like Lednica Dolna belonged to the parish in Wieliczka, it remained administratively independent to this day.
Politically it belonged to the Kingdom of Poland (from 1569 in the aristocratic republic of Poland-Lithuania ), Krakow Voivodeship , Szczyrzyc District. During the first partition of Poland in 1772, the village became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire (from 1804). Between 1784 and 1785 the Austrians built a road from Josefstadt through Wieliczka to Gdów , north of Lednica Górna. On the southern bank of the path, on the property of the nationalized brewery in Lednica Dolna, a dozen German-Lutheran families from Thuringia were settled in the course of the Josephinian colonization . The colony later became an independent municipality Lednica Niemiecka or German Lednitz , but was initially merged with Lednica Górna (1779–82: Ober-Lednica including Colonia Deutsch Lednica ), later the three merged villages called Lednica with the former town of Mierzączka made the eastern suburb of Wieliczka. The Lutherans in Lednica first belonged to the evangelical community in Josefstadt (Podgórze) until 1833, then to New Gablau , and from 1872 to Krakow. A Protestant school was opened in 1843. By the end of the 19th century the descendants of the colonists (around 100) were completely Polonized and during World War II did not sign the German People's List because they believed they were Poles. Despite this, they were persecuted by local Catholics after the war.
In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy , Lednica Górna became part of Poland , with the exception of the time when Poland was occupied by the Wehrmacht in World War II .
In 1934 Lednica Dolna and Lednica Niemiecka were incorporated into Wieliczka.
