history

Pozowice in the exclave of the Duchy of Auschwitz / Zator around Krzęcin

In a document of the Pontifical Legate Gilo of Paris from the years 1123-1125, it is stated that the village of Pouozow was allocated to the Benedictines in Tyniec in 1086 by Judith of Bohemia (the first wife of Władysław I Herman ) . It was mentioned again as Powozowo in 1229 in a papal bull by Gregory IX. for the Tyniec Abbey . The name Powozowicy also appeared in a document from Leszek II in 1286. However, the years of writing down the documents were later forged by Benedictines and could more likely concern Pawężów . The first reliable mention comes from the year 1440, when Duke Wenceslaus I exempted the farmers in the Benedictine villages in his duchy from the ducal judiciary and the weights of Polish law. The village belonged to the Benedictines of Tyniec until 1816.

Politically, the village originally belonged to the Duchy of Auschwitz , namely to its exclave , which was separated from the rest of the Duchy by the so-called Radwanite Corridor . The duchy existed from 1315 during the period of Polish particularism and in 1327 there was feudal rule of the Kingdom of Bohemia . Since 1445 it belonged to the Duchy of Zator , which was sold to Poland in 1494.

During the first partition of Poland in 1772 Pozowice became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire (from 1804). At that time the village belonged to Rainer von Austria .

In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Pozowice became part of Poland. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II . It then belonged to the General Government .

From 1975 to 1998 Pozowice was part of the Kraków Voivodeship .
