History

Cinerary urn and vessel from the Ducal Kurgans

In the village there are two prehistoric tumuli and a settlement of the Przeworsk culture, dating back to the 2nd century AD, now an archaeological site.[2] Named the "Ducal Kurgans", they are linked to a local section of the ancient Amber Road connecting the Baltic Sea with the Roman Empire.[2]

In the 16th century, the inhabitants of Przywóz were minor nobility.[3] In the late 19th century, Przywóz had a population of 187.[3]

During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), in 1940, the German gendarmerie carried out expulsions of Poles, who were placed in a transit camp in Łódź, and then young Poles were deported to forced labour in Germany and German-occupied France, and others were deported to the General Government in the more eastern part of German-occupied Poland.[4] Houses and farms of expelled Poles were handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy.[5]

In 1964–1974, a team of archaeologists led by professor Konrad Jażdżewski of the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnography in Łódź conducted archaeological research on the tumuli in Przywóz.[2]
