  • Understand

    Allready in acient times Potkarpackie was situated on major trade routs north of the Carpathians between the Black Sea and Central Europe. In the early Middle Ages Podkarpackie was disputed between the Kingdom of Poland and Ruthenia, and became part of Ma?opolskie which was the major part of Poland since the Polish capital was moved from Gniezno to Krakow in 1040. Especially the cities along the San River became very rich in the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Beautiful palaces were built in Lublin Renaissance, Mannerist and Baroque style by the nobility of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonweath. After the First Partition of Poland in 1772 most of its territory was annexed by Austria and formed a part of the socalled Galicja-Lodomeria. Galicja-Lodomeria gained an autonomy within the Austria-Hungary empire in 1867. After World War I Podkarpackie became part of the Second Polish Republic, but was devided along the San River after the invation of Poland and occupied by Nazi-Germany and the Soviet Union between 1939 and 1944, when its Western part in 1939 and its Eastern part in 1941 were incorporated into the German Generalgovernement. After World War II it again became part of Poland. Nowerdays it is situated in the South-East of the country, although it used to be in the middle of the Commonwealth between two major trade and economic centers in Krakow and Lwow.
