website =Tymbark is a village in southern
Poland , some 80 km south-east of Cracow, population 2,400 (2004 data).Tymbark was granted city rights in
1357 by KingCasimir III of Poland . The town's original name was "Jodłowa Góra", but as the majority of first burghers came from German lands, the name was soonGermanised as "Tannenberg", which gave origin to the current one, used from about the16th century . Tymbark lost the city status in1934 ; now it is the administrative centre ofGmina Tymbark .In
1936 the Podhalańska Fruit and Vegetable Cooperative was established in Tymbark, which developed into a successful business. The cooperative was nationalised in1950 , reprivatised in1995 and now operates as "Tymbark S.A.", producing fruit preserves, drinks and juices.References
