Petrovice u Karviné
Résumé
(1920–1952 Petrovice; , Petrowitz bei Freistadt) is a municipality and village in Karviná District in the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 4,900 inhabitants.
Villages of Dolní Marklovice, Prstná and Závada are administrative parts of Petrovice u Karviné.
The name is patronymic in origin, derived from the personal name Petr/Piotr, meaning "Petr's village". Petrovice was renamed Petrovice u Karviné after the extension of the municipality in 1952.
Petrovice u Karviné is located about north of Karviná and northeast of Ostrava, on the border with Poland. It lies in the Ostrava Basin in the historical region of Cieszyn Silesia. The Petrůvka River flows through the municipality and forms a part of the Czech-Polish border. It enters the Olza in Závada. The Szotkówka Stream springs in Prstná. There are several ponds in the municipality.
The first written mention of Petrovice is from 1335, when it was mentioned as a seat of a Catholic parish in an incomplete register of Peter's Pence payment as villa Petri. The oldest part of the municipality is Dolní Marklovice, which was first mentioned in Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis from around 1305. Politically, the area belonged initially to the Duchy of Teschen. Petrovice was again mentioned in the register of Peter's Pence payment from 1447 among the 50 parishes of Teschen deanery as Petirsdorff.
After the 1540s Protestant Reformation prevailed in the Duchy of Teschen and a local Catholic church was taken over by Lutherans. It was taken from them (as one from around fifty buildings in the region) by a special commission and given back to the Roman Catholic Church on 14 April 1654.
After the Revolutions of 1848 in the Austrian Empire, a modern municipal division was introduced in the re-established Austrian Silesia. The village as a municipality was subscribed at least since 1880 to political district and legal district of Freistadt.
According to the censuses conducted in 1880–1910 the population of the municipality grew from 1,022 in 1880 to 1,444 in 1910.
