history

See Neudeck Castle

The history of Świerklaniec is closely linked to that of the local castle. A first mansion was built in the 11th century. In 1477 the name of the border castle Swiklenczy is mentioned for the first time. The place was owned by the Hohenzollern from 1532 to 1621. Since 1629, Świerklaniec was the ancestral seat of a line of the noble family of Henckel von Donnersmarck ; when they received the town as a pledge, the name Neudeck was first mentioned.

Prussian since 1742, the place was attached to the Tarnowitz district on March 27, 1873 . Neudeck was a manor that stretched south of the Tarnowitz – Siewierz road and south-west of the palace gardens. In 1885 it had 551 inhabitants. Gut Neudeck also formed an administrative district , which most recently comprised the rural communities of Alt Chechlau, Brinitz, Koslowagora, Neu Chechlau and Orzech and the manor districts of Alt Chechlau, Koslowagora, Neudeck and Orzech.

Today Świerklaniec has over 3500 inhabitants - the development extends mainly north of the Tarnowskie Góry – Siewierz state road. However, this area actually represents the place Alt Chechlau (1910: 1438 inhabitants), which extended north of the actual, much smaller Gutsdorf Neudeck (1910: 503 inhabitants) and has now merged into the same.

While in the referendum in Upper Silesia in 1921 on Gut Neudeck, 279 or almost 80% of the valid votes were cast in favor of remaining with Germany, 63% in Alt Chechlau and over 80% in the other districts voted in favor of joining Poland. In 1922 Neudeck and its surrounding area were renamed part of Poland and Świerklaniec . The castle and the place were still owned by the Donnersmarck family until 1945. In the interwar period, the President of the Mixed Commission for Upper Silesia, Felix Calonder, lived here and, as an independent observer, ensured that the rights of the German minority were observed. A Catholic Curate Świerklaniec was established in 1929, which was elevated to an independent parish in 1931. Only a wooden church served as the church, which was replaced in 1989 by the parish church "Christ König". A reservoir (Kozłowa Góra) was built on the municipal area from 1935 to 1939 to supply water. In 1945 the new and old locks burned down and both were later demolished. An artificial lake was created in 1973 in Nakło-Chechło, which on the one hand is also a water reservoir and on the other hand is now used for recreational purposes.

Between 1954 and 1972 the village belonged to the Gromada Świerklaniec and from 1975 to 1998 to the Katowice Voivodeship .
