The first Polish printing house in Silesia was also created in Miko-Łów, in which Karol Miarka printed "Catholic". The publishing activities of Mikołów printers and their social activity were aware of the national activity and the results of Polish associations and the results of elections in Silesia - in 1922, Mikołów together with part of Upper Silesia was within the borders of the Second Polish Republic - said Izabela Kloc, a Member of the European Parliament.
