Pożdżenice is a village with a Schulzenamt of the rural community Zelów , 3 km southwest of the city of Zelów , in the Powiat Bełchatowski of the Łódź Voivodeship in Poland .
history
The place was mentioned in a document in 1403 as Pozenice and later as Posszenice (1415), Pozdzenicze (1418), Posdzyenycze (1511), Poszenicze (1511/1512), Pozenycze (1511-1523), Posdzenycze (1552), Pozdzienice (1783) -1784). The originally patronymic name Poździenice was derived from the personal name Poździeń (Old Polish pozdny - late, -źdź- was sometimes changed to -żdż-, Pozienice is a simplification of -źdź-> -ź-) with the suffix -ice.
A Roman Catholic parish of the Archdiocese of Gniezno was established in 1622 and existed until 1863, after which it was affiliated to Wygiełzów (from 1927 the wooden church built in 1836 belonged to Zelów).
After the second partition of Poland , it belonged to South Prussia from 1793 to 1807 . In 1809 it came to the Duchy of Warsaw and in 1815 to the newly formed Russian-dominated Congress Poland .
Today's Pożdżenice Kolonia, a German-Lutheran colony, was probably established in the late 18th century. After 1802, Czech-speaking descendants of the Bohemian Brothers from Silesia , who belonged to the Evangelical Reformed community in Zelów, settled in the area around Zelów. In 1843 33 German, 30 Czech and 6 Polish families lived there. In 1857, an Evangelical Augsburg branch of Bełchatów was founded.
After the end of the First World War , the village became part of Poland. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II .
In the 1921 census there were 147 houses and 1,061 inhabitants, 66% of whom were Protestant. Until 1934 the Protestant school taught in German. In the interwar period the local cantor was Hermann Kurzmanowski.
From 1975 to 1998 Pożdżenice belonged to the Piotrków Voivodeship .
