history

Grojec hill with ruins of a rampart

The place was probably built in the 14th century closer to the castle on the Grojec hill than Alt-Saybusch in the Duchy of Auschwitz under the feudal rule of the Kingdom of Bohemia , but it was not until April 13, 1465, when the ywiec area was finally sold to the Polish king mentioned. In the Liber beneficiorum dioecesis Cracoviensis (1470-1480) of the historian and geographer Jan Długosz , the village in the districtus Zywyecz was mentioned as Una cum vico Sporzysch . The place name is topographical and derived from the Polish name for ergot mushrooms . The place was on the way to Arwa .

When Poland was first partitioned in 1772, the city became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire (from 1804).

In the 19th century the village was industrialized by opening a few forges , a rolling mill and a sheet-metal smelter ( Friedrichshütte , screw factory since 1900).

In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Sporysz 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 Saybusch in the administrative district of Katowice in the province of Silesia (since 1941 province of Upper Silesia ).

During the Second World War, Sporysz was incorporated into Saybusch for the first time, and finally in 1950.
