Monowice is an eastern district of Oświęcim in the Lesser Poland Voivodeship in Poland .
Monowice was the site of the Auschwitz III Monowitz extermination camp during World War II .
history
The place was first mentioned in a document in 1416 when Casimir I of Teschen-Auschwitz allowed Jakub Drozd of Przeciszów to clear part of the local thicket. The patronymic name, earlier also Manowice , is derived from the personal name * Mon (compare Et frat (er) eius Monic in 1173) with the typical West Slavic suffix - (ow) ice.
According to Jan Długosz , it was Monyowicze, villa sub parochia de Oszwanczim from 1470 to 1480 . At that time there were ponds in Monowice, where the hamlet of Stawy (ponds) developed, from 1973 an independent village.
Politically, the village originally belonged to the Duchy of Auschwitz under feudal rule of the Kingdom of Bohemia . In 1457 the duchy with the village of Monowicze was bought by the Polish king. From 1564 the village belonged to the Silesia District of the Krakow Voivodeship .
During the first partition of Poland , Monowice became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire in 1772 (from 1804). After the abolition of patrimonial it formed a parish in the Biała District , later Oświęcim District .
In 1900 the community had an area of 641 hectares (plus 441 in the estate area), 225 houses with 1070 inhabitants, all of whom were Polish-speaking, apart from 1060 Roman Catholics there were 10 Jews.
In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Monowice became part of Poland. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II . From 1941, the IG Farben Buna plant was founded, along with the Auschwitz III Monowitz concentration camp. After the war the factory was renamed several times, but until 1951 the place had Dwory in its name.
Monowice was incorporated with the place Dwory-Kruki in 1954 after the city of Oświęcim.
