Prądnik Czerwony is a municipality in Krakow and a former village, on the eastern, left bank of the Prądnik River , in the northern part of the city of Krakow in Poland .

history

In the 12th century, the area belonged to the Benedictine Abbey of Tyniec , so first mentions appeared in connection with this, the dating of which has been questioned. 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 . In the years 1394 and 1409 the plural name Prandniky or Prandniki was mentioned, but it was not until 1529 that the two places were differentiated in the sources: Pranthnyk Parva (Latin small P., today Prądnik Biały ) and Pranthnyk Maiori (Latin large P., today Prądnik Czerwony). The eastern part of the village remained in the possession of the Tyniec Benedictine Abbey and was also known as Prądnik tyniecki to distinguish from Prądnik Duchacki (the hospitaller) and Prądnik Biskupi (the bishops). The adjective Czerwony (red) appeared in the 19th century, derived from the red color of the ground.

In the late 15th century, some Vorwerke were established, u. a. of the Jesuits, Dominicans, Franciscans. From 1479 , one of the suburbs belonged to Jan Długosz , who referred to Prądnik as a suburb of Krakow. The village was destroyed in 1587 by the fighting between Maximilian III. from Austria and Jan Zamoyski . A popular explanation derives the name Prądnik Czerwony from the blood shed in this battle.

When Poland was partitioned for the third time in 1795, it became part of the Habsburg Empire . Between 1801 and 1802 the Rakowicki Cemetery was established on the border with Cracow. 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 . After that, some fortifications of the Krakow Fortress were built by Austrians.

In 1900 the municipality of Prądnik Czerwony with the district of Olsza had an area of ​​499 hectares, 194 houses with 3995 inhabitants, the majority of whom were Polish-speaking (3743) and Roman Catholic (3737), also (mostly in the military) 152 German-speaking, 207 Jews, 30 Greek-Catholic, 22 Ruthenian-speaking.

On April 1, 1910, a small part of the municipality (south of the river Białucha or Prądnik with the Rakowicki cemetery) was incorporated into Kraków as Warszawskie , the rest in 1941 by German occupiers.

From 1975 to 1986 a prefabricated housing estate was built in Prądnik Czerwony.
