Location and history

Lubartów is located in eastern Poland, north of the county capital of Lublin.

The town's history goes back to the 16th century. On May 29, 1543, Piotr Firlej, voyage of Lublin, received a privilege from King Zygmunt the Old, who granted him permission to found the city of Lewartów. The name refers to the genus Firlej’s weapons containing a leopard. The town name was slightly distorted over time and in 1744 the name was officially changed to Lubartów.
In the northern part of town, Firlej built his bourgeois mansion, with a beautiful garden around. Not far from there a wooden church was erected. The city's next owner, Piotr Firlej’s son, Mikołaj Firlej, became very important for the development of the city. Among other things. he summoned artisans and cattle breeders from the Netherlands, Flanders and Germany, and gave permission for the creation of artisan guilds for shoemakers, tailors, bundlers and weavers.
The 17th year. was a recession for the city, so it was destroyed during the Swedish wars.
In the 18th century. it went forward again; under Paweł Sanguszko’s ownership was built in 1733-38 St. Anna's Church on the site of the former wooden church, as well as providing funds for the building of the Capuchin Order monastery and church.
In 1744, King August III reaffirmed the city's marketplace rights and changed the city name to Lubartów.
After Poland's third division in 1795, Lubartów came under Austrian rule, but in 1815 the city came under Russia. During World War I, the city was occupied by Austria from 1915 until 1918.
After Poland regained its independence, Lubartów had to struggle for a long time to rid himself of the consequences of years of repression and decline. The industry developed strongly. The city's masons were known for their skill and erected buildings not only in the city itself, but throughout Poland and in several Russian cities.
During World War II, there was a strong resistance movement in Lubartów. In 1939, Jews made up over 50% of the population; in 1942 the Germans brought Lubartów’s Jewish population to the extermination camps in Bełżec and Sobibor. To the liberation of the city on July 22, 1944, the local branch of Armia Krajowa (Home Army) contributed greatly.
One of the largest industrial companies in today's Lubartów is Roto, which produces windows and doors, but specializes in skylights and ceiling stairs. Another big company is the packaging company Stella Pack, which among other things manufactures garbage bags. – In Lubartów there is a distribution center for the well-known supermarket chain Biedronka.
