Solec Kujawski [ ˈsɔlɛts kuˈjafsci ] ( German Schulitz ) is a town on the Vistula in the powiat Bydgoski of the Polish Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship . It is the seat of the town-and-country municipality of the same name with around 16,700 inhabitants.
Geographical location
The city is located 20 kilometers southeast of the city of Bydgoszcz (Bromberg) and 35 kilometers northwest of the city of Toruń (Thorn) .
history
Schulitz is first mentioned in 1244 as Solecz . 1402 was first mentioned in a document under the name Schulitz. In a document from 1325, the place is already referred to as a city, so the granting of city rights must have taken place earlier. In 1332 the city was conquered by Teutonic Knights and heavily destroyed in the process. Casimir III subsequently had the fortifications significantly strengthened after the Peace of Kalisch . The city was an insignificant trading place. In 1772 as part of the first partition of Poland-Lithuania , the place came to Prussia .
The city had been badly affected by fire. Around 1785 it consisted of 38 houses in which 176 people lived without the many fire ruins; around 25 percent of the residents were Protestant Germans who had only immigrated after 1773. In 1788 the place had 316 inhabitants, 36 houses and a Catholic church. In 1837 there were 53 houses and 509 inhabitants. In Prussia it belonged to the West Prussian Province from 1772 to 1807 , to the Duchy of Warsaw from 1807 to 1815 and then to the Bydgoszcz administrative district in the Province of Posen . At the beginning of the 20th century Schulitz had an evangelical church, a catholic church and a synagogue .
From 1910 to 1912 the brick church of St. Stanislaus was built.
After the First World War , due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty in 1920 , the city had to be ceded to Poland for the purpose of establishing the Polish Corridor . A part of the German minority had to resettle in the remaining Reich territory , the remaining Germans were subjected to reprisals in the period that followed. On December 2, 1924, Solec was renamed to its current name Solec Kujawski .
After the invasion of Poland in 1939, the Bromberg area was annexed by the German Reich. The city of Schulitz was assigned to the district of Bromberg in the newly established Reichsgau Danzig-West Prussia .
Towards the end of World War II , Schulitz was occupied by the Red Army on January 23, 1945 and again part of Poland.
The city has Saint Stanislaus in its coat of arms .
