history
A castle in the territory of the Kievan Rus is mentioned in the 13th century as Ljubacew . In the middle of the 14th century, the place with the entire Przemyśl region came under Polish rule and received city rights in 1376 . At the same time Lubaczów became the seat of a castellanate and a Starostei . The city developed as a handicraft center, producing cutting weapons and crystal glass since the 18th century. Numerous Jews settled in the city since the 15th century .
In 1772 Lubaczów came to the Habsburg Monarchy with the First Partition of Poland . It followed u. a. a certain economic decline due to the breakdown of old trade connections, which only ended with the connection to the railroad in 1884. Lubaczów also lost the seat of a district administration , which existed between 1850 and 1867 . In the second half of the 19th century Lubaczów also became a garrison town; in 1914 the IV Battalion of the Galician Infantry Regiment No. 90 of the Austro-Hungarian Army was stationed . Major fires in 1899 and 1904 destroyed a large part of the old wooden town buildings. in November 1918 Lubaczów came to the newly founded Poland . However, the fighting against the Ukrainians did not end until a year later. According to the 1919 census, the city had 2,991 Poles, 1,793 Ruthenians (Ukrainians) and 519 Jews.
During the Second World War , the German Wehrmacht took the city in 1939 , but handed it over to the Soviet Union in accordance with the provisions of the German-Soviet non-aggression pact . During the following Soviet period between September 1939 and June 1941, numerous Poles were deported to Siberia, the place itself was now called Lyubachev (Любачев) in Russian and was the main town of Ujesd Lyubachev within the Lvov Oblast of the Ukrainian SSR until January 1940 . After an administrative reform, the place became the seat of the district administration of Lyubachev district from January 10, 1940 . After the German invasion of the Soviet Union , the Wehrmacht returned in June 1941. The German occupation authorities set up a ghetto for the Jews. Of the 7,000 inmates, around 4,500 were shot in the course of the following months, the rest were deported to the Belzec extermination camp . Lubaczów was largely destroyed during the war. The invasion of the Red Army on July 22, 1944 as part of the Soviet summer offensive did not end the fighting, but the place and the Rajon of the same name were officially returned to Poland in October 1944. The civil war between Polish and Ukrainian partisan units continued in southeast Poland for several years. In the course of Operation Vistula , the Ukrainian population of the city was deported west by the Polish authorities.
In 1945 the Apostolic Administrator for the former Catholic Archdiocese of Lviv took his seat in Lubaczów. From 1922 to 1975, and again since 1999, Lubaczów is the county seat.
