Nierodzim is a district (osiedle) ofUstroń,Silesian Voivodeship, Poland. It was a separate municipality, but became administratively a part of Ustroń on January 1, 1973.[1]
The village was first mentioned in 1439 asNerodzim.[2][3] Politically the village belonged then to theDuchy of Teschen, formed in 1290 in the process offeudal fragmentation of Poland and was ruled by a local branch ofPiast dynasty. In 1327 the duchy became afee of theKingdom of Bohemia, which after 1526 became part of theHabsburg monarchy.
After the 1540sProtestant Reformation prevailed in the Duchy of Teschen and later localLutherans built a wooden church. It was taken from them (as one from around fifty buildings) in the region by a special commission and given back to theRoman Catholic Church on 16 April 1654.[4]
AfterRevolutions of 1848 in the Austrian Empire a modernmunicipal division was introduced in the re-establishedAustrian Silesia. The village as a municipality was subscribed to thepolitical district ofBielsko and thelegal district ofSkoczów. According to the censuses conducted in 1880, 1890, 1900 and 1910 the population of the municipality (together with thecadastral community ofBładnice Górne) grew from 578 in 1880 to 626 in 1910 with a majority being native Polish-speakers (98.4%-99.3%) and a small German-speaking minority (most 10 or 1.6% in 1910), in terms of religion majority wereProtestants (57% in 1910), followed byRoman Catholics (42.1% in 1910) andJews (6 people).[5] The village was also traditionally inhabited byCieszyn Vlachs, speakingCieszyn Silesian dialect.
AfterWorld War I, fall ofAustria-Hungary,Polish–Czechoslovak War and the division ofCieszyn Silesia in 1920, it became a part ofPoland. It was thenannexed byNazi Germany at the beginning ofWorld War II. After the war it was restored toPoland.
