history

Milowice is probably the oldest settlement within the boundaries of today's Sosnowiec. According to some researchers, it was already mentioned in a document by Gilo of Paris (signed by him as issued in 1105, but most likely from 1123-1125) as Miley , a village owned by the Benedictines in Tyniec . Gerard Labuda, a researcher on this document, saw no Miley in this and other earliest documents from Tyniec Abbey, as well as according to the Historical-Geographical Lexicon of the Polish Academy of Sciences , the first sure mention of Mileeuici , a village in the Duchy of Opole and owned by the Cistercians from Heinrichau in Lower Silesia (ecclesiastically, however, it always belonged to the diocese of Krakow ) in 1228. In 1280 it was laid out by Breslau Norbertines under German law.

The place is on the edge of the area that was spun off from the Duchy of Krakow or Lesser Poland around 1177 and fell to the Silesian Duchy of Ratibor , from 1337 Siewierz belonged to the Duchy of Teschen under the feudal rule of the Kingdom of Bohemia . The Duchy of Siewierz with the village of Mileovicze was sold in 1443 by the Teschen Duke Wenceslaus I to the Krakow Bishop Zbigniew Oleśnicki . In 1598 the village belonged to the parish in the city of Czeladź .

In the course of the Third Partition of Poland , Prussia became part of New Silesia in 1795 . In 1807 it came to the Duchy of Warsaw and in 1815 to the newly formed Russian-dominated Congress Poland . In 1827 there were 29 houses with 164 inhabitants.

In 1822 and 1823 two mines "Wiktor" and "Feliks" were opened. The industrial development of the place in the Polish or Dombrowaer coal basin followed u. a. in 1882 with the establishment of the "Aleksander" smelter of the German company "Milowitzer Eisenwerk". In 1915 Milowice was incorporated into the town of Sosnowiec, which was founded in 1902 when it was part of the German occupation zone of Congress Poland during World War I.

In the 1920s, Sosnowiec's youngest Jewish cemetery was established in Milowice. In 1935 a tram line was opened, today part of the tram in the Upper Silesian industrial area . The local coal mine KWK Milowice was closed in 1996.
