History

In the Early Middle Ages, Zawidów was a stronghold of the Bieżuńczanie tribe,[1] one of the old Polish tribes.[2] In the early 11th century it was included in the early Polish state by Bolesław I the Brave. The settlement was first mentioned in 1186.[3] In the 14th century it became part of the Bohemian (Czech) Kingdom. It was granted town rights in 1369.[3] In 1397 a school was founded.[3] The town suffered from fires in 1427, 1433, 1469, 1769 and 1834.[3] In 1635 it passed to the Electorate of Saxony and from 1697 was also under the rule of the Kings of Poland. As a result of the Thirty Years' War, Protestants from the Czech Kingdom settled there.[4]
In 1815 it fell to Prussia, and became part of unified Germany. During World War II the German administration confiscated two historic church bells from the local church for armaments.[5] After World War II, the town became again part of Poland under the terms of the post-war Potsdam Agreement.
The old church bells survived the war; however, they are now located in churches in Stuttgart and Ulm in Germany.[5]
