history

In the 12th century the area belonged to the Benedictine abbey of Tyniec . In connection with this, first mentions appeared, the dating of which has been questioned by many researchers (Wojciech Kętrzyński, Stanisław Smolka and others). The place was mentioned in a document by Gilo of Paris (probably from the years 1123-1125) as Prandnyk and in the papal bull published in 1229 as Prandnik . The name is derived from the river of the same name . Another part of the village belonged to the Hospitallers of the Holy Spirit , who were settled there by Iwo Odrowąż , Bishop of Cracow. The Hospitallers established a monastery and a hospital in Prądnik, but were relocated to the city of Kraków in 1244. This part of the village, today Prądnik Biały, remained in their possession and was later renamed into the two villages Prądnik Duchacki (Duchacy was another name of the hospitallers) and Prądnik Biskupi (episcopal), to them from Prądnik tyniecki (now Prądnik Czerwony ) distinguish. In 1529 it was called Klein-Prądnik (Prądnik Maly). The adjective Biały appeared in the 19th century, derived from the white karst formations of the Kraków-Częstochowa Jura .

In the late 15th century some outworks and the mill were founded by Krakow citizens (often with names of German origin such as Hanusbork, Hanhess or Hamerlin). From 1479 , one of the suburbs belonged to Jan Długosz , who referred to Prądnik as a suburb of Krakow. At that time, Fryderyk Schyling's paper mill from Wissemberg was built there, owned by Johann Haller , who is considered one of the founders of printing in Poland, from 1510–1525 . In 1547 the episcopal residence was built, later u. a. visited by Jan Kochanowski , Szymon Szymonowic and Łukasz Górnicki . In 1574 Heinrich III was there . solemnly welcomed. The village was in 1587 by the fighting between Maximilian III. from the House of Austria and Jan Zamoyski destroyed. In 1789 the village was assigned to the treasure of the Polish army by the four-year-old Sejm .

When Poland was partitioned for the third time in 1795, it became part of the Habsburg Empire . In the years 1815–1846 the village belonged to the Republic of Kraków , in 1846 it was annexed to the Austrian Empire as part of the short-lived Grand Duchy of Kraków . From 1855 it was part of the Kraków District .
