history
Raniżów is the oldest place in the area and was first mentioned in documents in 1366 in the founding privilege of the village Doblowa or today's Wola Raniżowska ( locandi villam in silva nostra dicta Doblowa circa Ramizow, iure Theutonico Maideburgensi ).
When Poland was first partitioned , Raniżów became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire in 1772 (from 1804).
In 1783, as part of the Josephine colonization, 42-48 German families (235 people), mostly Lutheran and Reformed (2 families) denominations, settled on 348 hectares on the grounds of the village of Raniżów. Similar Polish settlers were also settled in the area (e.g. 16 families in Staniszewskie, 12 in Lipnica, 7 in Wola Raniżowska) and German Catholics in the west in Wildenthal . The colony was initially called Meinhof , but the name did not establish itself and was never used again a few years after it was founded. By virtue of the patent of tolerance , a Lutheran congregation was founded in Ranischau , which belonged to the Evangelical Superintendentur AB Galizien . It comprised the Rzeszower district and had a branch municipality in Steinau . In 1812 the colony had 248 people. In 1875 there were 214 Protestants and a German Protestant school in Ranischau, which was active until 1942. The pastor was Paul (Paweł) Cholewa from Ustroń in Cieszyn Silesia .
In 1900 the municipality of Raniżów in the Kolbuszowa district had 286 houses with 1647 inhabitants, of which 1638 were Polish-speaking, 7 German-speaking, 2 Ruthenian-speaking, 1340 Roman Catholic, 2 Greek Catholic, there were 298 Jews and 7 other faiths. The community Ranischau had 63 houses with 387 inhabitants, of which 200 were German-speaking, 187 Polish-speaking, 134 Roman Catholic, 69 Jews, 184 of other faiths (predominantly Protestant).
In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, both communities came to Poland.
In 1921 the municipality of Raniżów had 299 houses with 1,562 inhabitants, all of whom were Poles, 1,273 Roman Catholics, 11 Protestants, there were 278 Jews. The Ranischau community had 64 houses with 369 inhabitants, of which 312 were Poles, 57 Germans, 261 Roman Catholics, 60 Lutherans, 48 Jews (religion only).
Before the World War, the pastor Alfons Schmallenberg strove to revive Germanism in Raniżów. The occupiers intensified their efforts after the outbreak of the World War, during which time Raniżów belonged to the General Government. In December 1939 the district chief Heinz Ehaus ceremoniously presented German identity cards to the local ethnic Germans . Schmallenberg became mayor of Sędziszów . New colonies for new settlers were planned, but Hans Frank postponed the plans for re- Germanization until autumn 1941. Finally, the Germans were transferred to the Ranischau estate administration (also Dzikowiec, Nowy Dzikowiec, Lipnica, Wola Radziszowska) in 1942 in the vicinity of Mielec (in Wola Pławska or Weizenbring ) was completely relocated. In 1940 the Jews were resettled in the ghettos in Sokołów Małopolski and later in Rzeszów .
From 1975 to 1998 Raniżów was part of the Rzeszów Voivodeship .
The Protestant church (consecrated in 1834) was demolished around 1970. Apart from the houses, some traces of the German colonists remained. B. German- born field names such as Cylakier or Gmonstyk .
