history

Pławo, Schönanger and Wola Pławska on the Franziszeische Landesaufnahme around the middle of the 19th century

During the first partition of Poland , the chamber estates of the city of Sandomierz became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire (from 1804).

The village was established in 1783 during the Josephine colonization on the grounds of the village of Pławo. 44 German Catholic families were settled as colonists. In contrast to other Roman Catholic colonies, the colonists were not Polonized for a long time: in 1812 there were 225 Germans, in 1880 there were still 220.

In 1900 the community of Schönanger in the Mielec district had 38 houses with 271 inhabitants, of which 187 were German-speaking, 84 were Polish-speaking, 264 were Roman Catholic, there were 7 Jews.

In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Orłów became part of Poland. This was interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II , during which it belonged to the Generalgouvernement .

In 1921 the community of Schönanger had 43 houses with 271 inhabitants, all of whom were Poles, except for Roman Catholics there was one Protestant. The Polish state began to systematically change the German place names only in 1926.

Before the World War, Herbert Czaja , the professor at the grammar school in Mielec, tried to revive the Germanness in the area with limited success. The occupiers intensified their efforts after the outbreak of the world war. Roman Gesing, the most famous descendant of the colonists, offered resistance. In 1942, the majority of the colonists from Ranischau and Wildenthal were relocated south to the new Weizenbring colony in Wola Pławska.

From 1975 to 1998 Orłów was part of the Rzeszów Voivodeship .
