history

In the late 14th century, a closed German-language island (later called Forest Germans , who were Polish- speaking until the 18th century ) around the city of Łańcut was formed by about ten villages, including the village of Wysoka. It was first mentioned as Wyssoka in the document of the tithe award in the Łańcut area in 1384 . The name of the village is Slavic, which at least testifies to an older local origin of the name. In 1450 it belonged to Jan von Pilcza , a grandson of Otto von Pilcza and son of Elisabeth von Pilitza .

German was still spoken in the village until at least the 16th century, and in 1558 the local priest bought a German-language Bible. German forms of first names still pervaded the local jury books in the first half of the 18th century.

During the first partition of Poland , the now Polish-speaking Wysoka became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire in 1772 (from 1804). Stanisław Szczęsny Potocki bought the village before 1780 , later it belonged to Konstancja Bekierska (Bielska), from 1819 to the noble Potocki family. After the abolition of patrimonial with serfdom , it formed a municipality in the district and judicial district of Łańcut from 1850 .

In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, the place became part of Poland. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II .

From 1975 to 1998 Wysoka was part of the Rzeszów Voivodeship .
