history
The place Mrowisko (anthill) on the left, Polish bank of the Brynica , as well as south of the strongly autonomous episcopal duchy of Siewierz was first mentioned in 1650. Politically, the place belonged to the aristocratic republic of Poland-Lithuania , Krakow Voivodeship , Proszowice district and Kraków, but belonged to the Roman Catholic parish in Mysłowice, Upper Silesia . 1706 received the place with the new name Modrzewo from Augustus the Strong the city charter and operated a lively trade with Mysłowice. In 1713 there was in the typical shtetl , the second most important after Będzin in the area, a kehillah , synagogue and Jewish cemetery and for a long time no Christian church, which was very rare in the wider area. After the middle of the 18th century, the twin city Niwki or Niwka developed, but was inhabited by Roman Catholic people.
In the course of the third division of Poland , Prussia came to be part of New Silesia in 1795 and in 1801 the place lost its town charter (definitely in 1870). In 1807 it came to the Duchy of Warsaw and in 1815 to the newly formed Russian-dominated Congress Poland . In 1827 there were 32 houses with 229 inhabitants. In 1849 there were 310 Jews, almost 84% of the city's citizens, then by 1880 the place had 34 houses with 676 inhabitants, of which 586 (89.3%) were Jews. Modrzejów belonged to the estates of Sielce that were owned by various Germans in the 19th century: Christian Ludwig Schimmelpfennig von der Oye , Ludwig Anhalt-Coeten von Pless , Countess Charlotte von Wernigerode zu Stolberg and Count Jan Renard. The place was north of the confluence of the Black and White Przemsa , which became the triangle , from the end of the 19th century a tourist attraction.
The place was in the Dombrowa coal basin but the industrial development only followed after the establishment of the "Modrzejów" colliery between 1902 and 1912. In 1915, Modrzejów was incorporated into Sosnowiec. In the interwar period there were plans to join the planned city of Niwka-Modrzejów. During the Second World War , the Jews were destroyed in the Holocaust .
In 1954 the district was connected to the tram in the Upper Silesian industrial area.
