geography

The village has an area of ​​987.6 hectares .

Neighboring towns are Dankowice in the north, the city of Wilamowice in the east, Pisarzowice in the south-east, Janowice in the south-west and Bestwinka and Bestwina in the west.

history

The place was first mentioned in a document as the parish Antiquo Willamowicz in the Peterspfennigregister of 1326 in the Auschwitz Dean's Office of the Krakow diocese . The place name is to be seen as a demarcation to Novovillamowicz (today the city of Wilamowice). Both places were closely connected at the time of their creation, although they later had different ethnic characters.

The existence of two parishes suggests that Altdorf ( Antiquo Willamowicz ) was founded earlier by a certain Wil (l) am, but the old hypothesis of a foundation shortly after the first Mongol storm (1241) is not confirmed by the archaeological findings. Both Waldhufendörfer probably emerged at the end of the 13th and beginning of the 14th century, only the somewhat younger village Wilamowice (1326 Novovillamowicz, later German Wilmesau) was unusually founded not along waterways, but along the path from Stara Wieś. In the 14th century, both places had names referring to the same founder and until 1377 they had the same owner, but were organized as separate parishes and later they were ethnically different. The presumed German settlement in Stara Wieś (the greatest indication of this was the German-sounding name Henricus (≤ Heinrich ) of the first priest in Stara Wieś and the connection with (Novo) Wilamowice) turned out to be short-lived compared to that in Wilamowice.

In 1454 Stara Wieś was not mentioned for the first time as Antiquo Willamowicz (with variants like Antiquomillonovicz or Antiqua Wilamowice ), but as Antiqua Villa (Latin "old village", which means Polish Stara Wieś and German Altdorf, but not that Wilmesaurischen Wymysdiüf = Wilmesdorf corresponds).

Politically, the village has belonged to the Duchy of Auschwitz since 1315 , which existed during the period of Polish particularism , and since 1327 under the feudal rule of the Kingdom of Bohemia (see countries of the Bohemian Crown ). After 1377 Stara Wieś belonged to a branch line in several regions of Poland, in Silesia, Saxony, Bohemia and Prussia ramified knightly family Biberstein that her last name to after the village Starowiejscy changed. The village coat of arms of Stara Wieś is reminiscent of the Horschhorn coat of arms of the Bibersteins. In 1457 the Duchy of Poland was bought and the village was mentioned as Stara Wyesz . Subsequently, the Duchy of Auschwitz was completely attached to the Kingdom of Poland in 1564, as the Silesia District of the Krakow Voivodeship of the Polish-Lithuanian aristocratic republic (from 1569) . Around 1600 Stara Wieś had over 200 inhabitants. In 1522 the Roman Catholic Church, which still exists today, was built by Krzysztof Biberstein-Starowiejski. During the Reformation , almost all the neighboring towns became Protestant, while Stara Wieś remained Catholic.

During the first partition of Poland , Stara Wieś became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire in 1772 (from 1804). The Duchy of Auschwitz - Zator, which was temporarily spun off from Galicia and assigned to Austrian Silesia from 1818 or 1820–1850, was a formal member of the German Confederation at the time , although before 1772 it was subject to Poland and not the Holy Roman Empire .

The building of the former elementary school from the 18th century, now a museum

In 1787 the elementary school in Stara Wieś was opened, teaching in Polish and German. In the centralistic early phase of the Habsburg Empire 1804–48 and in neo-absolutism 1851–59 / 66, the German language became the only official language, regardless of the fact that the village, unlike Wilamowice, was already purely Polish - speaking. This policy was finally changed when, with the Galician autonomy in 1866 / 73–1918, Polish became the dominant official and school language in Galicia. After the abolition of patrimonial and serfdom , Stara Wieś formed a parish in the Galician district and judicial district of Biała from 1850 .

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

From 1975 to 1998 Stara Wieś belonged to the Bielsko-Biała Voivodeship .
