Sosnowice is a village with a Schulzenamt of the Brzeźnica municipality in the Powiat Wadowicki of the Lesser Poland Voivodeship in Poland .

history

The place was first mentioned in the Liber beneficiorum dioecesis Cracoviensis (1470-1480) of the historian and geographer Jan Długosz . The name is patronymically derived from the first name Sosna ( sosna also means pine ) with the typical patronymic word ending - (ow) ice.

At that time the village belonged to the so-called Radwanite Corridor . This belonged to Poland and connected the Duchy of Auschwitz , the feudal rule of the Kingdom of Bohemia , in the west with its exclave in the east.

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

In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Sosnowice became part of Poland again. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II .

From 1975 to 1998 Sosnowice was part of the Bielsko-Biała Voivodeship .
