history

The place was first mentioned in 1389 as villas nostras Wiczyn , when it was allocated to the village of Tschemerynzi by King Władysław II Jagiełło to Mikołaj Gołogórski von Gołogor. It was later mentioned as Wyaczen (1441), Wyeczin (1469), Wieczen (1490), Vyeczeny (1515), Wicyn (1649), Wicyń (1785–1788), and so on. The original name Wiaczeń was derived from the Ukrainian Вяцен (<В'ячеслав, see Wenceslaus (first name) ). The change Wiaczeń > Wieczeń > Wic (z) yń was influenced by the local Ukrainian dialect or by general changes in Ukrainian, but the transition cz (German pronunciation tsch)> c (German pronunciation z) was influenced by the Mazovian dialect ( mazurzenie ).

The place initially belonged to the Lviv region in the Ruthenian Voivodeship of the aristocratic republic of Poland-Lithuania . From the 16th century it belonged to the aristocratic Sienieński family and from 1620 to Jakub Sobieski (the father of John III. Sobieski ). After an attack and devastation by the Tatars, the village was repopulated with settlers from Mazovia . The Poles formed the majority of the population until World War II .

During the first partition of Poland in 1772 the village became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire (from 1804).

In 1900 the municipality of Wicyń had 207 houses with 1251 inhabitants, all of them Polish-speaking, 1138 Roman Catholics, 49 Greek Catholics, 64 Jews.

After the end of the Polish-Ukrainian War in 1919, the community became part of Poland. In 1921 it had 231 houses with 1263 inhabitants, of which 1237 were Roman Catholic Poles, 7 Greek Catholic Ruthenians, 19 Jews (nationality and religion).

In the Second World War, the place belonged first to the Soviet Union and from 1941 to the General Government , from 1945 back to the Soviet Union, now part of the Ukraine . A self-defense group against OUN - UPA was active in the village during World War II . In the night between April 9 and 10, 1944, 19 Polish defenders were killed. On April 25, the village was attacked by the Galicia SS . Over half of the buildings were burned and 25 people shot.
