history
The village probably originated in the early 13th century. The official settlement name, first mentioned in 1242 as Woznyky / Woszniky , is derived from the profession woznik (German driver of the wagon ). Around 1220 the Benedictine Abbey in Staniątki was donated by the Krakow castellan Klemens (Jaksa) Gryfita von Ruszcza and equipped with 50 villages, including Woźniki according to later lists. In 1228 the Opole voivode, Clement von Ruszcza, fortified the castle in Opole . As compensation, he received goods from Duke Casimir I of Opole-Ratibor between the Vistula and Skawa, on the easternmost edge of the Duchy of Opole-Ratibor (the border to Skawinka was not moved until 1274 ). From 1239 Woźniki belonged to the Tyniec Abbey , which exchanged it with Klemens von Ruszcza for other villages near Kraków .
Since 1324 the village belonged to the Cistercians in Mogiła , who bought Zygodowice before that and founded the village of Ryczów next door .
The parish mentioned in 1326 as Woznik in the deanery Zator of the diocese of Krakow was the mother parish of the four villages of the monastery in Mogila in the duchy of Auschwitz or Zator, as well as the city of Wadowice , which only became independent in 1780.
Politically, the village originally belonged to the Duchy of Auschwitz , which existed from 1315 during the period of Polish particularism . Since 1327 consisted suzerainty of the Kingdom of Bohemia . Since 1445 it belonged to the Duchy of Zator , which was sold to the Polish king in 1494. Subsequently, the Duchy of Auschwitz-Zator was completely attached to the Kingdom of Poland in 1564, as the district of Silesia in the Krakow Voivodeship , and from 1569 in the Polish-Lithuanian aristocratic republic .
During the first partition of Poland , Woźniki became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire in 1772 (from 1804). From 1782 it belonged to the Myslenice district (1819 with the seat in Wadowice ). After the abolition of patrimonial it formed a municipality in the judicial district of Wadowice in the Wadowice District after 1850 .
In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Woźniki 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 ), as one of the few villages east of the Skawa, at that time Schaue , which became the border between the Third Reich and the Generalgouvernement .
