Wacław Chamrat (German: Wenzel Chamrath[1]) (b. ca. 1735, d. 14 October 1813 in Biała) was a lawyer, notary and chronicler. He was an author of the Kronika miasta Białej (Chronicle of Biała), which is considered as a priceless source for the history of Biała in the 18th century.[2]
The Kronika miasta Biała was copied in 1845 by Karol Tschickardt, who removed the introduction about Polish history of Silesia, Bielsko and Biała.[2]
Chamrat's chronicle was published for the first time in 1983.[3]
