history
The place on the river of the same name ( in fluvio, qui Mosczenycza dicitur ) was founded according to the founding privilege of King Casimir the Great in 1348 under German law by the locator Jan Herbert on 80 Franconian hooves . The founding privilege spoke about the repeal of Polish law, so there was an older settlement on traditional Polish law. The name Moszczenica is derived either topographically (moszennica - Coluteocarpus bris ) or from the word most (bridge). Later, Moszczenica was mentioned as two places: Moszczenica Polska (literally Polish , later Moszczenica Dolna, literally Nieder, creek downstream) and Moszczenica Niemiecka (literally German , later Moszczenica Górna - Ober [up]).
The first Roman Catholic wooden church, 12 m long, 6 to 7 wide, with 3 naves , was built in the middle of the 14th century.
In 1393 the mayor in Moschnicz was a certain Lupold (Lewpoldus) , then Marcisz Wrocimowic .
The place initially belonged to the Kingdom of Poland (from 1569 in the aristocratic republic of Poland-Lithuania ), Krakow Voivodeship , Biecz district , and around 1600 the village of Moszczenica Niemiecka (Górna) was one of the largest in the district with over 400 inhabitants. During the first partition of Poland , Moszczenica came to the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire in 1772 (from 1804). From 1855 Moszczenica belonged to the Gorlice District .
In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Moszczenica came to Poland. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II . From 1975 to 1998 Moszczenica was part of the Krosno Voivodeship .
