It is commonly known that the city was severely affected by the Partitions, with all services underfunded. But most importantly, this is a general knowledge article meant to provide information for readers who might not have extensive knowledge about the city's history. Krakow is not an Austrian city, and Austrians don't live in Krakow. The only reason why it became part of the Austrian Empire were the Partitions of Poland.
