Talk:Wisłoka

Deleted information

I have deleted a part of this article, as the information about German settlers has nothing to do with the river. Besides, there are some mistakes:

• western part of Województwo podkarpackie, with all towns located along the Wisłoka (Mielec, Dębica, Jasło) did not return to Poland in 1340. That area had always been part of Poland, historical Red Ruthenia begins somewhere between Rzeszów and Sędziszów Małopolski,
• there were some isolated settlers in the area of Krosno, Sanok or Rzeszów. Sure, but these towns are not located along the Wisłoka,
• German ruling classes in Beskidian Piedmont - no problem, but the article is about a river.

This is the information that I have deleted:

Settlement

Germans settled in the territory of the Kingdom of Poland (territory of present day Województwo podkarpackie) from the 14th to 16th centuries (see Ostsiedlung), mostly after the region returned to Polish sphere of influence in 1340, when Casimir III of Poland took the Czerwień towns. There were probably some isolated settlers in the area of Krosno, Sanok, Łańcut, Biecz and Rzeszów earlier. The Germans were usually attracted by kings seeking specialists in various trades, such as craftsmen and miners. They usually settled in newer market and mining settlements. The main settlement areas were in the vicinity of Krosno and some language islands in the Pits and the Rzeszów regions. The settlers in the Pits region were known as Uplander Sachsen. Until approximately the 15th century, the ruling classes of most cities in present day Beskidian Piedmont consisted almost exclusively of Germans.

The village of Markowa. The typical Umgebindehaus - houses, about 150–200 km southeast of Kraków, around 18/19th century, built in the style of ancient mountain Walddeutsche atmosphere.
