history

The place was first mentioned in documents in 1454. According to Jan Długosz , from 1470 to 1480 it was Skyedzen, villa sub parochia de Oszwanczim sita, cuius haeredes praefati Szkedzenszcy . The name, previously also Skidzyn , Skiedzeń , Kiedeń , Skiednik , is of unclear origin, possibly after the personal name * Kida (e.g. Jacobus Kydeg in 1396), with the absorption of the preposition s and the phonetic change -in ≥ -en.

Politically, the village originally belonged to the Duchy of Auschwitz , under feudal rule of the Kingdom of Bohemia . In 1457 the duchy with the village of Skedzey was bought by the Polish king. In 1564 Skidziń was completely incorporated as part of the new Silesia District of the Krakow Voivodeship to the Kingdom of Poland , from 1569 the Polish-Lithuanian aristocratic republic .

During the first partition of Poland , Skidziń became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire in 1772 (from 1804). From 1782 the village belonged to the Myslenice district (1819 with the seat in Wadowice ). After the abolition of patrimonial it formed a parish in the Biała District from 1850 .

In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Skidziń came to Poland. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II . It then belonged to the district of Bielitz in the administrative district of Katowice in the province of Silesia (since 1941 province of Upper Silesia ).

From 1975 to 1998 Skidziń was part of the Katowice Voivodeship .
