history

Until 1919

Church of the Exaltation of the Cross (former Nikolaikirche) from the 13th century

The first documentary mention of today's Sławków (then Zlaucow ) comes from the year 1238. The property-indicating name is derived from the personal name Sławek (≤ Sławomir ). The exact date of the granting of city rights has not been determined. However, indirect sources indicate that Sławków was granted town charter between 1279 and 1286. This statement is based on two written sources from the Middle Ages. In a document issued by Bolesław V in 1279 , the place is still referred to as a "village" ( villa episcopalis ). In another agreement from 1286 between the Kraków bishop Paweł von Przemanków and Leszek II , Sławków already bears the name civitas (“city”). The city in the district of Proszowice or Kraków of the Kraków Voivodeship was along the most important trade route from Kraków through Bytom to Wrocław , the Via Regia .

From 1325 to 1327, Sławków was the seat of a deanery of the Kraków diocese , which included 27 parishes: from the Upper Silesian Repty and Mikulczyce in the west to Olkusz in the east. In 1331 the deanery of Bytom ( Bytom ) was separated, while Sławków itself fell to Nowa Góra in 1335 . In the 15th the Deanery Slawkoviensis alias in Bithom was restored with alternating seat in Sławków and Bytom, which included 25 parishes in the Kraków Voivodeship, Duchy of Siewierz and around Bytom in Upper Silesia. Only in 1748 were two separate deaneries of Sławków and Bytom created.

During the Third Partition of Poland , the place came to the Kingdom of Prussia as part of New Silesia . In 1807 Sławków became part of the Duchy of Warsaw and in 1815 part of Congress Poland . Between 1816 and 1837 the city belonged to the Kraków Voivodeship (with the capital in Kielce ), which was the direct successor to the Kraków Department in the Duchy of Warsaw, and in 1837 - as a result of the increased Russification of the Polish administrative apparatus after the November uprising - to the Kraków Governorate ( Russian : Краковская губерния ) was renamed. In 1841 the Krakow governorate was renamed Kielce governorate ( Russian : Келецкая губерния ). After the dissolution of the Kielce Governorate in 1844, Sławków was joined to the newly founded Radom Governorate ( Russian : Радомская губерния ). After it was divided in 1867, the city remained in the Kielce governorate, which had since been rebuilt, until 1916. In 1869 the place lost its town charter and was only regained in 1958, now part of the People's Republic of Poland .

From the 1820s, calamine was promoted there and between 1826–1888 there was a state plant and Sławków was viewed as part of the historical-industrial landscape of the Dombrowa coal basin .

1919 to 1945

town hall

Between 1919 and 1939 Sławków was part of the Kielce Voivodeship . After the invasion of Poland in September 1939, the place was incorporated into the Generalgouvernement for the occupied Polish territories . A little later, on November 20, 1939, he was admitted to the province of Silesia ( administrative district Kattowitz , administrative district Ilkenau (Olkusz)) in the new "East Upper Silesia" in violation of international law as part of the German Empire . The German name Schlockau was never officially introduced.

1945 until today

Between 1945 and 1975, Sławków was part of the Krakow Voivodeship . In the course of the administrative reform in 1975, the city was assigned to the newly founded Katowice Voivodeship , namely 1977-1984 to the district of Dąbrowa Górnicza . After the administrative reform in 1999, Sławków came to the powiat Olkuski in the Lesser Poland Voivodeship , which the residents did not agree with. Because of the longstanding economic and transport links, the residents decided to move to the Silesian Voivodeship (2001). As an independent city, Sławków could not be incorporated into the independent city of Dąbrowa Górnicza, so it went into the Będzin district as its exclave in Zagłębie.
