Tarnobrzeg is an independent city in Poland in the Subcarpathian Voivodeship .

geography

Tarnobrzeg is located in southeastern Poland on the right bank of the Vistula . Administratively, the city borders directly on Sandomierz , Heiligkreuz Voivodeship , in the north .

history

As early as 1567 there were efforts to build a town on the site of the village of Miechocin . On May 28, 1593 , Sigismund III. Wasa granted the city ​​charter according to Magdeburg law . This gave the city the right to hold a fair twice a year . In 1676 a church and a monastery of the Franciscans (OFM) were founded. In 1734 Stanislaus I. Leszczyński stayed in the town's castle to form an alliance to regain the throne .

With the first partition of Poland , Tarnobrzeg came under Austrian rule. In 1855 the place became a district town and in 1867 the seat of a Starost . In 1909 a school was opened. During the First World War , the city was shelled, some of the Jewish population was expelled from Russian territory and harassed. In a peasant uprising on November 6, 1918, Tomasz Dąbal and Eugeniusz Okoń proclaimed the short-lived socialist-communist Republic of Tarnobrzeg ( Republika Tarnobrzeska ), which was militarily crushed in early 1919. From 1921 to 1924 Tarnobrzeg became part of the central economic center of newly founded Poland .

After the German invasion of 1939 , the Jewish citizens, who at the beginning of the century made up about 80% of the population of the city of Tarnobrzeg, were systematically persecuted. After executions and admissions to labor camps and ghettos , almost all Jews were deported to the extermination camps by 1944 . The Jewish community Tarnobrzeg-Dzików, which can be traced back to the 16th century, was thus wiped out .

In the vicinity of the city, the German occupation forces created three large military training areas - the southern military training area , the Gorno air force training area and the Heidelager SS military training area .

In 1944 there was fierce fighting around the city; on August 5th it was captured by the Red Army .

In 1953, as a result of the discovery of sulfur deposits, the city began to grow significantly. In 1960 a sulfuric acid combine was built, the Machów mine. In the 20th century, however, the exploitation of the deposit was abandoned and the mine was converted into a lake in 1994.

As part of an administrative reform in 1975, the city became the seat of the Tarnobrzeg Voivodeship . A new reform ended this status at the end of 1998 and added Tarnobrzeg to the Subcarpathian Voivodeship .

From 1834 an important collection of famous painters from the 16th to 18th centuries was kept in the castle. There was also a library in the property, which until 1939 contained a handwritten copy by Pan Tadeusz . After a fire in 1927, the castle was rebuilt in the early Baroque style.
