Świątkowice (Polish pronunciation: [ɕfjɔntkɔˈvit͡sɛ]) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Lututów, within Wieruszów County, Łódź Voivodeship, in central Poland. [1] It lies approximately 8 kilometres (5 mi) south-east of Lututów, 24 km (15 mi) east of Wieruszów, and 86 km (53 mi) south-west of the regional capital Łódź.
The territory became a part of the emerging Polish state under its first historic ruler Mieszko I in the 10th century. The village was mentioned in a document in 1357. [2] In 1406, the local church became a filial church of the parish in Lututów. [2]
In 1827, Świątkowice had a population of 309. [2]
During the German occupation of Poland ( World War II), in 1940–1941, the German gendarmerie carried out expulsions of Poles, who were either deported to the General Government in the more eastern part of German-occupied Poland or enslaved as forced labour in the region or in Germany. [3] Houses and farms of expelled Poles were handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy. [4]
