history

The village is located in a part of Upper Silesia which belonged to Lesser Poland until 1177/1178 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 .

The place was first mentioned as Vizla on May 23, 1223 in a document from the Wroclaw Bishop Lorenz . At that time it was one of the fourteen villages of the castellatura de Ticino ( Teschen ) that were supposed to pay the tithe to the Premonstratensian women in Rybnik . Towards the end of the 13th century, a large settlement campaign began in Upper Silesia. The parish of Visla was first mentioned in the Peterspfennigregister of 1326 in the Auschwitz deanery of the Krakow diocese . This parish is to this day in Wisła Mała or Wisła Niemiecka ( German Vistula ). The adjective Niemiecka / German refers to Magdeburg law . The other part of the village remained or was re-established in the second half of the 14th century according to traditional Polish law. This part was only mentioned in 1424 and 1427 as Wisła Polska . In contrast to the aristocratic German Vistula , Polish Vistula belonged to the Ratibor dukes.

Politically, the village of Vizla / Visla belonged to the Duchy of Opole-Ratibor during the period of Polish particularism . The duchy was divided in 1281 after the death of Wladislaus I von Opole . Around 1290, the new border between the Duchy of Ratibor in the north and the new Duchy of Teschen in the south was redefined along the Vistula. The village of Vizla remained with the Duchy of Ratibor. In 1327 Duke Lestko gave his duchy as a fief to the Crown of Bohemia . After the death of Duke Lestko in 1336, it fell together with the Duchy of Ratibor as a settled fiefdom to Bohemia. In 1337, the Bohemian King John of Luxembourg transferred the Duchy of Ratibor again as a fief to Nicholas II of Opava , who came from the Opava branch of the Přemyslids . His eldest son Johann I received the Duchy of Ratibor as the sole heir in 1365 and founded the Přemyslid family line of Troppau-Ratibor .

In the later 15th century, during the Hungarian-Bohemian War, the area around Pless was ruled by Duke Casimir II of Teschen . On February 21, 1517, the village Wes Wisla Polska with the free state rule Pless was sold by Casimir II to Alexius von Thurzo .

After the death of King Ludwig II , the crown of Bohemia and with it Silesia came to the Habsburgs in 1526 . They were sovereigns of Silesia in their capacity as kings of Bohemia. After the First Silesian War and the preliminary peace of Breslau , Polish Vistula and most of Silesia fell to Prussia . The new border ran south along the Vistula. From 1816 it belonged to the district of Pless , with which it remained connected until 1922.

In the referendum in Upper Silesia on the future membership of Upper Silesia in 1921, 505 out of 614 voters voted for Poland, 101 votes for Germany.

After the Polish annexation of Eastern Upper Silesia in 1922, Wisła Wielka belonged to Poland. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II .

Between 1975 and 1977 Wisła Wielka was part of the town of Pszczyna .

From 1975 to 1998 Wisła Wielka belonged to the Katowice Voivodeship .
