Piasek (Krakow)
Piasek is a district of Krakow in Poland . It is located in the northwestern part of the Altstadt administrative district .
The suburb in front of the Schustertor developed in the 14th century and was first mentioned in a document in 1311 as before the Stat , then as before the Stat before Zugassen [Schugassen, d. H. Szewska Street] (1312), ante Portam Sutorum ante Valvam Judeorum (1313), ante Civitatem (1314), ante Plateam Sutorum (1316), ante Valvam Sutorum, ante Portam Judeorum (1366). The area was owned by the king, who in 1366 sold the judicial rights to the city of Krakow. In 1389 the name Cerdones , Latin for tanners , later in Polish Garbary , appeared because the suburbs were inhabited by Krakow tanners, often of German origin. In 1587 Krakow was founded by Maximilian III. attacked from the House of Austria and the residents of the suburbs came into contact with the Habsburgs, which was viewed as treason by the Polish side. This was followed by repression against the Habsburg supporters; the suburb was burned. Further destruction took place in the Swedish Flood . In the 17th and 18th centuries Garbary was a Juridika , the only one around Krakow with its own Vogt, town hall and detention cell. At that time the suburb was given the surname Piasek , named after the place where the Carmelite monastery and the largest church in Garbary stood, also Maria na Piasku (originally in the Quellen de Arena , German about Maria auf dem Sande ). However, this name displaced the name Garbary only after the suburb was incorporated into Krakow in 1792 by the four-year-old Sejm .
Piasek is part of an area that was declared a historical town complex (historyczny zespół miasta) on September 16, 1994 by presidential decree of Lech Wałęsa as a historical monument (Pomnik historii) .
