Czerwionka

Czerwionka, a locality with a rich history, is situated in Upper Silesia and serves as the seat of both the Roman Catholic Church and the Evangelical-Augsburg Church. Among its notable landmarks are the palace in Czerwionka and the patronal housing estate of the Dębieńsko mine. The town takes pride in its fascinating historical figures, such as Emil Bartoschek and Piotr Furgoł. The coat of arms of Czerwionka, reflecting the agricultural character of the region with three farming tools, symbolizes the traditions of the local community. In the 19th century, Czerwionka experienced dynamic mining development, with mines such as "Mariane," "Harmonia," and "Helene," which contributed to population growth and its Polish-speaking identity. In the 20th century, Czerwionka became part of a larger administrative entity, and its name, derived from the color red, has roots in Polish linguistic traditions. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Polish Gymnastic Society "Sokół" was established, promoting sports activities in the town, though its operations were interrupted by World War II. Rich in traditions and history, Czerwionka remains an important point on the regional map, blending a rich cultural heritage with dynamic modern development.
