Nieciecza [ɲeˈt͡ɕet͡ʂa] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Żabno, within Tarnów County, Lesser Poland Voivodeship, in southern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 4 kilometres (2 mi) north-west of Żabno, 17 km (11 mi) north-west of Tarnów, and 66 km (41 mi) east of the regional capital Kraków. It is situated on the right bank of the Dunajec River,[2] a tributary of the Vistula.

History[]

According to medieval Polish chronicler Jan Długosz, in the 15th century, the village was owned by castellan Jan Rabsztyński of Topór coat of arms.[2] In the late 19th century, the village had a population of 541.[2] A volunteer fire department was established in 1903.[3] In 1915, a theater and choir ensemble was founded in Nieciecza.[4] It participated in patriotic, anniversary, church, and occasional events in various places in the region, and in choir competitions.[4] The local football club, now known as Bruk-Bet Termalica Nieciecza, was founded in 1922.[5]

During the German invasion of Poland, which started World War II, a battle was fought in Nieciecza on 8 September 1939. 13 Polish soldiers of the 12th Infantry Regiment were killed in the battle.[6] There is a monument dedicated to the Polish defenders in the village.[6] During the German occupation, the occupiers used the local football pitch as a military training ground.[5] The local choir limited its activity.[4] In 1945, the occupation ended and the village was restored to Poland.
