Skomielna Biała is a village in the Polish municipality of Lubień in the Powiat Myślenicki in the Lesser Poland Voivodeship .
geography
Skomielna Biała is located on the western slope of the Luboń Mały ( 896 m npm ) in the western part of the Middle Beskids in the river basin of the Raba in the Rabka basin . South of Skomielna Biała are the mountains Birtałowa ( 626 m npm ) and Zbójecka Góra ( 643 m npm ).
history
Presumably the area was already in the 13th to the 5th century BC. Settled in BC , at least the vessel fragments, fire steel and a rubble stone hand ax found in the Rabatal testify to it. These finds are in the Archaeological Museum in Krakow. For reasons unknown, these areas were acquired around the year 400 BC. Depopulated.
During the reign of the Piasts , settlement was pushed towards the Tatra Mountains. In the 14th century, King Casimir III. carried out a large-scale settlement campaign based on Magdeburg law . The founding of the villages of Lubień (1360) and Rabka (1364) dates back to this period . It is likely that Skomielna Biała was also founded in 1364. It is possible that Skomielna Biała was initially just a hamlet for Rabka and the actual foundation of the village took place in the early 16th century by the Jordan family from Zakliczyn , who also founded the city of Jordanów .
The name Skomielna was first mentioned in a document from the village of Rabka, which Nikolaus, the heir from Niewiarów, issued to Andreas and Peter, the sons of farmer Janusz from Olszówka, on March 16, 1446. This document contains the name of the border brook usque ad verticem Skomylna , from the Glynyasty flow to the Skomylna flow.
In 1550 Jan Spytko Jordan founded the first church and parish church, and in 1565 Skomielna was transferred from the parish of Łętownia to the parish of Rabka. In 1776 the construction of the larch wood of St. Sebastian's Church was completed.
Since 1772 Skomielna Biała was under the rule of the Habsburgs (Austria) as a result of the first partition of Poland .
A public school was founded here in 1885. Skomielna Biała parish was established in 1896 after separating from Rabka, and in 1911 the volunteer fire brigade was founded.
On September 3, 1939, the Wehrmacht burned the church and part of the village in revenge for the resistance of Colonel Stanisław Maczek's 10th armored cavalry brigade .
The electrification of the entire village took place in 1953. Due to the Polish administrative reform of 1973, Skomielna Biała belonged to the Nowy Sącz Voivodeship , Lubień Municipality; since 1999 to the newly created Lesser Poland Voivodeship .
In the years 1997–2003 the school was expanded and efforts to establish a high school in Skomielna Biała were successful. The high school was named after Henryk Łasak , a Polish cyclist.
Surname
There are several hypotheses about the origin of the name, one leads the place name back to Skomeln, which was probably the founder or the first inhabitant. Another says that the name comes from a stream that marked the boundaries of the place. Until the 17th century Skomielna was written without the addition of Biała ( German : white ). This was probably chosen to better distinguish it from the place known today as Skomielna Czarna (black) .
traffic
Two important national roads cross in the village: the national road 28 , which connects Zator and Wadowice with Nowy Sącz and Przemyśl , and the national road 7 (part of the E 77 ), which leads to Zakopane .
tourism
The neo-Romanesque church is the defining landmark of Skomielna Biała.
The area around Skomielna Biała is very wooded and has hiking trails that lead in the direction of the High Tatras and to the following peaks in the area: Turbacz and Stare Wierchy in Gorce, Babia Góra in the Babiogórski mountain range. The blue hiking trail leads from Jordanów over the Luboń Mały to the Luboń Wielki ( 1022 m npm ) in the Middle Beskids .
There is a youth hostel in the school building during the summer holidays.
