history

The place is on the edge of the area that was spun off from the Duchy of Krakow or Lesser Poland around 1177 and fell to the Silesian Duchy of Ratibor , from 1337  Siewierz belonged to the Duchy of Teschen under the feudal rule of the Kingdom of Bohemia . In 1345 there was a battle of the Polish-Bohemian War over Silesia (according to other sources in Przeginia near Olkusz ). The first reliable mention of the place Pogonia comes from the year 1386, when it was sold by Piotr Szafraniec to Wisław and Piotr from Mysłowice with the nearby places Siedlec and Klimontów in the Kraków Voivodeship . The name is probably derived from the personal name and the coat of arms motif Pogonia .

The Duchy of Siewierz was sold in 1443 by the Teschen Duke Wenceslaus I to the Krakow Bishop Zbigniew Oleśnicki , but the village remained in the Roman Catholic parish in the Upper Silesian town of Mysłowice until the 19th century.

In the course of the Third Partition of Poland , Prussia became part of New Silesia in 1795 . In 1807 it came to the Duchy of Warsaw and in 1815 to the newly formed Russian-dominated Congress Poland . In 1827 there were 72 houses with 387 inhabitants.

In 1878 Heinrich Gotthold Dietel (with his wife Klara Jacob) from Saxony settled in Pogonia , who is considered to be one of the greatest personalities in the industrial development of the Dombrowa coal basin , especially in today's town of Sosnowiec, whose development is inextricably linked with his commitment. In Pogoń he built the first worsted - spinning in the then Russian Poland managed and beyond throughout the Russian Empire on. After an expansion in 1890, it employed around 2000 people, including Protestant engineers and workers from the German Empire . He also built and donated many large buildings in the village, including a palace, the first Roman Catholic parish church, Protestant church, some schools, etc.

Around 1900 the osada fabryczna (factory settlement) Pogonia alias Pogoń with around 1500 inhabitants was described as actually a suburb of Sosnowiec in the Geographical Lexicon of the Kingdom of Poland .

In 1902 the villages of Sosnowiec (today Stary Sosnowiec), Pogoń, Sielce, Ostra Górka and Radocha were united to form the new largest town in the Dombrowa coal basin, Sosnowice , with around 61,000 inhabitants .

In the 1920s, the Focha workers' settlement was built. In 1928 a tram line was opened, today part of the tram in the Upper Silesian industrial area . In the 1970s, under Edward Gierek , the district was largely rebuilt. At that time, new buildings of the Silesian University , including student housing complexes, were built.
