history

The village was founded in 1327 on the grounds of the village Zwierzyniec on the left bank of the Rudawa by Norbertans under German law as Media Villa . In the Krakow Schöffenbuch as well as in the Krakow City Book, the village was also mentioned once as a half- village in the late 14th century . The Polish name Polwszye appeared in 1439, then parte ville Szwerzynyecz Polwsze vocate (1451/1512), Media Villa alias Poluwszye (1470–1480), the adjective Zwierzynieckie was added in the 18th century.

When Poland was partitioned for the third time in 1795, it became part of the Habsburg Empire . In the years 1815–1846 the village belonged to the Republic of Kraków , in 1846 it was annexed to the Austrian Empire as part of the short-lived Grand Duchy of Kraków . From 1855 it was part of the Kraków District .

In 1900 the municipality of Półwsie Zwierzynieckie had 34 hectares, 84 houses with 2705 inhabitants, the majority of them Polish-speaking (2532) and Roman Catholic (2418), also 37 German-speaking, 249 Jews, 35 Greek-Catholics.

Between 1903 and 1912 the old Rudawa river bed was filled in. At the turn of the 19th century, Półwsie was urbanized. Around 1908, Krakow officials founded a villa development west of Półwsie near Zwierzyniec, which was later called Salwator . The Na-Stawach-Platz at the site of a parched pond became the center of the village.

On November 13, 1909, the community was incorporated into Krakow. In 1921 the Półwsie (XII) district had 234 buildings with 5067 inhabitants, the largest minority of Jews numbered 354 people.
