history
The area of the later Wigandsthal initially belonged to the castle district of Schwerta in the Upper Lusatian Queiskreis . After the division of the Schwerta rule in 1592 it belonged to the Meffersdorf rule, which was about 12 km² in size and owned by the Uechtritz family . Together with Upper Lusatia, the area fell to the Evangelical Electorate of Saxony in 1635 . This led to the settlement of religious refugees from Bohemia and Silesia . After the extinction of the Schwerta branch of Uechtritz in 1638, the Meffersdorf lordship came to Wigand von Gersdorf , who founded six new towns on Meffersdorfer Grund, among them a market town in 1666, initially known as "Meffersdorfer Städtel" and from 1679 after the founder as "Wigandsthal" was designated.
The first settlers came from the Bohemian New Town . In 1667, Wigand von Gersdorff received the privilege of city and market justice as well as mining rights from the Saxon Elector Johann Georg II , as he intended to revive a previously operated tin mine. Nevertheless, there were disagreements with the residents, to whom he had not granted full civil liberties. 1686–1689 exiles from Silesia were settled in Wigandsthal. Since the tin mine was unsuccessful, weaving as well as black and white dyeing were promoted. In the 18th century, the production of imitation gemstones began. Since there was no economic upturn, the population stagnated. In 1694 there were 404 inhabitants, 1794: 402 inhabitants and 1825: 430 inhabitants.
The baroque palace still standing today was built in 1767/68 for Adolf Traugott von Gersdorf . After the Congress of Vienna in 1815, Wigandsthal fell to Prussia, along with the Queiskreis and Ostoberlausitz . At the same time it lost its town charter. It has now been the province of Silesia slammed and 1816 the newly formed district Luban in the district Liegnitz incorporated. Since 1823 the rule of Meffersdorf, to which Wigandsthal belonged, was owned by Landgrave Viktor Amadeus von Hessen-Rotenburg , 1830–1856 owned by Count Ernst von Seherr-Thoß , the subsequent owners were his son-in-law Johannes Gustav Theodor Freiherr von Saldern -Plattenburg ( 1856–1876), the purveyor to the court Joseph Robrecht from Berlin (1878–1889), his son Albrecht Robrecht (1889–1899), Otto Czarnowski (1900–1902), the Landbank Berlin (1902–1903) and Prince Christian Kraft zu Hohenlohe- Öhringen (1903–1926), from 1926 until the expropriation in 1945 Max Hugo Prinz zu Hohenlohe-Öhringen.
In 1874 the district of Wigandsthal was formed, which from 1908 was called the district of Meffersdorf . To it belonged the rural communities Alt Scheibe, Bergstrasse, Grenzdorf, Heide, Meffersdorf, Neu Gersdorf, Neu Scheibe, Schwarzbach, Straßberg, Volkersdorf and Wigandsthal as well as the manor district of Meffersdorf. The population only increased from the second half of the 19th century. A handkerchief weaving mill started operations in 1887, followed a year later by a plush factory. In 1897, Wigandsthal was connected to the Greiffenberg – Heinersdorf railway at the Meffersdorf station . In 1928 the rural communities of Neu Gersdorf and Wigandsthal and the Meffersdorf manor district were merged to form the new rural community of Wigandsthal, which had 1299 inhabitants in 1939.
As a result of the Second World War, Wigandsthal, like almost all of Silesia, came under Polish administration and was renamed Pobiedna . The German population was expelled. Some of the newly settled residents were forcibly resettled from eastern Poland . From 1945 to 1954 Pobiedna was an independent rural municipality , from 1974 to 1998 it belonged to the Jelenia Góra Voivodeship . The railway connection from Mirsk to Pobiedna was closed on July 1, 1987 and then dismantled. On March 15, 1991, the place with the peace settlement between the Federal Republic of Germany , the German Democratic Republic as well as France , the Soviet Union , Great Britain and the United States became part of the Republic of Poland through the Two-Plus-Four Treaty .
