history

Hedwig Church around 1905

Until 1177/1178 this country belonged to Lesser Poland and then came to the Duchy of Ratibor , which was ruled by the Silesian Piasts . The membership of the diocese of Krakow , which existed until 1821, also came from this time .

Stara Wieś is probably the place where the original settlement of Pszczyna developed before the town was founded in the second half of the 13th century , near a small rampart and wooden church (later St. Hedwig, could already exist around 1200) . Century. At the end of the 13th century, a large settlement campaign began in Upper Silesia. At that time, a new settlement with different buildings was built. The village was first mentioned in 1408 as Aldedorf , and then as Starowes (1517, when it was sold with the Free State of Pless ), Aldendorff (1536), Aldendorf (1572), Aldorf (18th and 19th centuries), Starawieś (in the interwar period).

In 1598 the wooden church in Antiqua Villa was visited by Krzysztof Kazimirski, a visitor of the Krakow diocese. According to his account, the church was in the hands of Lutherans.

In the referendum in Upper Silesia on the future political affiliation of Upper Silesia in 1921, 740 (65.3%) out of 1135 voters voted for Poland, while 411 (34.7%) voted for Germany.

After the Polish annexation of East Upper Silesia in 1922, Stara Wieś belonged to Poland. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II . The church was destroyed by the war in September 1939.

The part next to the church was incorporated into the town of Pszczyna in the interwar period. The remaining part was initially incorporated after the war, in the years 1990–1999 again as sołectwo independent, on January 1, 1999, despite the opposition of the residents, re-incorporated.
