INDEX

[N4995] Strzemieszyce ..... a district (dzielnica) of Da;browa G©drnicza (since 1975) in the Silesian Voivodeship, Poland. Located between the districts Reden and Strzemieszyce Male, on the national road 94 between Katowice and Olkusz.
History

Traces of ancient human settlement date back to the Lusatian culture period (ca. 700 BC). Excavations carried out in 1996 testify to the existence of a medieval settlement in the 11th century. The first written record of the village name (in Latin Strmyeschycze major) comes from the early 14th century. The village belonged to the bishops of Krak©dw and was administered as part of the S?awk©dw estates until 1790, when these became nationalized. After the Third Partition of Poland Strzemieszyce Wielkie found itself in the Prussian province of New Silesia. The first elementary school was established in 1806. Between 1807 and 1813 it found itself in the Duchy of Warsaw, and between 1815 and 1914 under Russian rule in Congress Poland.
The Ivangorod (De;blin) railway station in Strzemieszyce Wielkie (1917)

In 1848 a railway station of the WarsawVienna Railway was opened, followed in 1885 by a station of the Ivangorod Railway, connecting De;blin (Russ.: Ivangorod) and Da;browa. The intersection of these two important railways gave rise to industrial development of the settlement. Between the 1870s and the 1930s numerous, albeit small, coal mines (e.g. "Jakub", "Jakub II", "Lilit", "Siurpryz", "Proreden") operated here.

In 1883 a ceresine plant ("Strem") and in 1899 a superphosphate plant were established. The bishop of Kielce Augustyn ?osin'ski (18671937) founded a Roman Catholic parish in Strzemieszyce Wielkie in February 1911. From 1914 to 1918 the settlement came under Austrian occupation. Jews started to settle in Strzemieszyce Wielkie in the second half of the 19th century. In 1885 out of 2962 inhabitants 125 were Jews (4,2%). The Jewish population grew to ca. 20% in the inter-war period. During World War II Strzemieszyce Wielkie (under the German name Gro© Strzemieszyce) was the seat of a German Amtsbezirk Strzemieszyce[1], to which also several other communities (Strzemieszyce Ma?e, Strzemieszyce Folwark, Kazimierz, Niemce, Pora;bka) belonged.
