Pewel Wielka is a village with a Schulzenamt of the municipality Jeleśnia in the powiat Żywiecki of the Silesian Voivodeship in Poland .

geography

The place lies on the brook Pewlica (not to be confused with the brook of the same name in Pewel Ślemieńska ), a right tributary of the Koszarawa, in the Makower Beskids . The neighboring towns are Pewel Ślemieńska in the northwest, Hucisko in the northeast, Koszarawa in the southeast, Przyborów in the south, and Jeleśnia in the west.

history

Andrzej Komoniecki (1658–1729), the Vogt of Żywiec (Saybusch), mentioned the village of Pewle for the first time in 1562 in his chronicle of the Saybuscher country from the early 18th century , which was most likely the later Pewel Ślemieńska . Pewel Wielka originated a little after 1600 and further in the narration Komoniecki already distinguished two places called Pewla : Pewla Żywiecka (Wielka?) And Pewla Ślemieńska . Pewel Mała and Pewelka were built a little later , so there are four places in the area that are connected to the original Pewle . Although, according to Komoniecki, Pewla would have been founded by a certain Paweł (Paul), while a local legend speaks about three brothers named Paweł , the onomastic explanation derives the name from the stream of the same name, where the kernel pew- ≤ plv- refers to the verbs plwać , pluć and płynąć (flow) refer to and end with the suffix -el ≤ -ьlь.

In contrast to Pewel Ślemieńska and Pewelka from 1608 in the Ślemień rule, Pewel Wielka and Pewel Mała belonged to the estates of Jeleśnia in Saybusch . Administratively, all these places, probably founded by Wallachians , belonged to the Silesia district in the Krakow Voivodeship , and from 1569 in the aristocratic republic of Poland-Lithuania .

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 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Pewel Wielka came to Poland. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II . It then belonged to the district of Saybusch in the administrative district of Katowice in the province of Silesia (since 1941 province of Upper Silesia ).

From 1975 to 1998 Pewel Wielka was part of the Bielsko-Biała Voivodeship .
