history

The place is in the Arwa landscape , which belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary until 1918 . It was founded in 1585 on the initiative of Georg Thurzo (in the same year Arwa was assigned to him by Rudolf II ). The founder and the first mayor was Feliks Wilczek . The place was then also called Orawka Wielka , Wielkie Ondrejowskie and Orawka pod Wilkiem . The first settlers were Wallachian shepherds.

A Lutheran congregation operated there between 1614 and 1687. The Lutherans built a wooden church. The Catholics were served by priests from Poland, from 1651 they belonged to the parish in Orawka , in 1687 the local parish was established (in the Archdiocese of Esztergom , since 1776 Diocese of Spiš , since 1920 Diocese of Krakow ). In 1674 the family was Wilczek for help in the recatholicization of Arwa of I. Leopold thanked and ennobled . In 1683 the place was destroyed by Kazimierz Sapieha's troops marching to Vienna .

In the 19th century, Slovak became the language of the church and schools, but the local Gorals spoke Goral , a dialect of Polish descent. In 1897 Polish activists started national agitation. In 1910 the Hungarian administration followed the Polish request for the first time in the census and Goral was considered Polish. In that year the village had 1271 inhabitants, of which 17 were Hungarian-speaking, 53 German-speaking, 13 Slovak-speaking, 1188 foreign-speaking (of which about 1179 or 92.8% Polish-speaking), 1211 Roman Catholic, 2 Protestant, 57 Jews.

In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, the village became part of the newly formed Czechoslovakia. Due to the Czechoslovak-Polish border conflicts in the Arwa area, the place was assigned to the Second Polish Republic in 1920. Between 1920 and 1925 it belonged to the powiat Spisko-Orawski , from July 1, 1925 to the powiat Nowotarski. In 1921 the community had 307 houses with 1187 inhabitants, of which 1120 were Poles, 34 Germans, 1 Jew, 32 of other nationalities (mostly Slovaks), 1137 Roman Catholic, 1 Protestant, 49 Israelite.

From 1939 to 1945 the village became part of the Slovak State .

From 1975 to 1998 Podwilk was part of the Nowy Sącz Voivodeship .
