history

Nowa Góra and Krzeszowice on an Austrian map of Western Galicia from the early 19th century

In Old Polish, the word góra (mountain) also referred to a mine . The founding privilege of the village of Przeginia in 1276 signed as a witness Jan, son of Trojan and "rector ecclesiae de Gory". It is possible that Gory (plural from góra ), probably in the castellany of Chrzanów , was destroyed afterwards and Nouo Monte (1318) or Nowa Gora (1417) - in German about New Mountain - was created on the spot . The church was first mentioned in 1313 and Novomonte in 1326 in the Sławków deanery . In 1335 Nowa Góra became the seat of a new deanery, which existed until 1969. The place was probably given city rights under Magdeburg law before 1367 . By Jan Długosz was Novomoncze alias Nowa Gora Krakow in the description of the diocese from the years 1470 to 1480 as an oppidum called with a wooden church. The rise of the city is linked to the extraction of calamine , lead ore and silver . Cannon balls were made from lead under John II Casimir . During the time of the Swedish Flood , the Swedish King Karl X. Gustav ordered the road to Krzeszowice to be built with the help of the miners from Olkusz .

Local church

Around 1794 the town had around 750 inhabitants and was the main market for Tenczyn Castle goods . During the third partition of Poland , Nowa Góra became part of the Habsburg Empire in 1795 . In the years 1815–1846 the town belonged to the Republic of Krakow , in 1846 it was annexed again as part of the Grand Duchy of Krakow to the countries of the Austrian Empire. After the abolition of patrimonial it became a market town in the Chrzanów district . At that time the place bordered on Congress Poland in the north.

In 1800 Nowa Góra burned down. The landowner Izabela Lubomirska b. Czartoryska rebuilt it with masonry buildings. They also settled Prussian weavers, but Nowa Góra could no longer compete with Trzebinia and Krzeszowice. The importance of Krzeszowice in particular increased after the opening of the Kraków-Upper Silesian Railway as the new center of Tenczyn goods. The townspeople often emigrated to the more industrialized places such as Trzebinia and Siersza, or even to Upper Silesia and the Dombrowa coal basin , although in 1827 there were also two Galmei mines in Nowa Góra and after 1854 further mines followed in the town of Kraków's mining district .

In 1900 the municipality of Nowa Góra had an area of ​​757 hectares, 220 houses with 1169 inhabitants, all of whom were Polish-speaking, 1125 were Roman Catholic, 10 were Israelite.

In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Nowa Góra became part of Poland . It lost its town charter in 1933, a decade after Krzeszowice was elevated to a town. During the Second World War it belonged to the Krakow district in the Generalgouvernement and bordered the Krenau district in the German Empire .

From 1945 to 1998 Nowa Góra was part of the Krakow Voivodeship.
