Przywóz is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Wierzchlas, within Wieluń County, Łódź Voivodeship, in south-central Poland. It lies approximately 7km (04miles) south-east of Wierzchlas, 130NaN0 south-east of Wieluń, and 880NaN0 south-west of the regional capital Łódź.[1]
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. 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]
