history
The place was first mentioned in 1447 as [z] Moszczenicze , and later in the Liber beneficiorum dioecesis Cracoviensis (1470-1480) of the historian and geographer Jan Długosz , the village in the districtus Zywyecz was mentioned as Moszczennycza . The name, originally Moszczenica , is either topographical (moszennica - Coluteocarpus bris ) or derived from the word most (bridge).
Politically, the village originally belonged to the Duchy of Auschwitz , under the feudal rule of the Kingdom of Bohemia . The precincts of Zywiec with the village was pulled out in 1450 from the Duchy of Auschwitz. It finally belonged to Poland from 1465. From 1608 it belonged to the Ślemień domain .
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). From 1782 it belonged to the Myslenice district (1819 with the seat in Wadowice ). After the abolition of patrimonial , it formed a municipality in the Saybusch district after 1850 . In 1900 the municipality of Moszczanica with the districts of Kocurów and Rędzina had an area of 874 hectares, with 207 houses (113 in Moszczanica) and 1,458 (819 in Moszczanica, 378 in Kocurów, 261 in Rędzina) inhabitants, all of whom were Polish-speaking, besides Roman Catholics there were 8 Jews.
In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Moszczanica came to Poland.
After the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II it belonged to the district Saybusch the administrative district of Katowice in the province of Silesia (since 1941 province of Upper Silesia ). In 1939 the village had 1,863 inhabitants. In the Saybusch campaign , 74 families or 364 Poles were forcibly evacuated from Moszczanica on November 5, 1940 in order to settle it with 16 ethnic German families and 61 Roman Catholics from Eastern Galicia and the Buchenland . The reduction of the population to 200, the complete Germanization and the renaming to Mossbach were planned for the village, but not implemented before the end of the world war.
Kocurów with the hamlet of Koleby were incorporated into Żywiec on January 1, 1950 as Kocurów-Koleby , while Moszczanica and Rędzina followed in 1976. The Moszczanica district today also includes the rest of the former village of Zadziels, which was mostly flooded by Lake Żywiec in 1966 .
