Chwałęcice (German : Chwallentzitz) is a district of Rybnik, Silesian Voivodeship, southern Poland. In late 2013 it had about 1,800 inhabitants. [1]
Chwałęcice probably existed already in the 12th century.
After World War I in the Upper Silesia plebiscite, 233 out of 274 voters in Chwałęcice voted in favour of joining Poland, against 41 opting for staying in Germany. [2] In 1922, it became a part of Silesian Voivodeship, Second Polish Republic. It was then annexed by Nazi Germany at the beginning of World War II. After the war, it was restored to Poland.
In the years 1973–1977, it was the seat of a gmina, which (Chwałęcice and Stodoły) was amalgamated with Rybnik on February 1, 1977. [3]
The Upper Silesia plebiscite was a plebiscite mandated by the Versailles Treaty and carried out on 20 March 1921 to determine ownership of the province of Upper Silesia between Weimar Germany and Poland. The region was ethnically mixed with both Germans and Poles; according to prewar statistics, ethnic Poles formed 60 percent of the population. Under the previous rule by the German Empire, Poles claimed they had faced discrimination, making them effectively second class citizens. The period of the plebiscite campaign and inter-Allied occupation was marked by violence. There were three Polish uprisings, and German volunteer paramilitary units came to the region as well.
