Geographical location
Żarka is located on the eastern floodplain of the Lusatian Neisse in the former Görlitzer Heide . The Droga wojewódzka 351 leads through the town and connects it with five kilometers north lying Pieńsk and eight kilometers south Zgorzelec . The Görlitz districts of Ludwigsdorf and Ober-Neundorf are on the western German bank . The Węgliniec – Zgorzelec railway also touches the town on the eastern edge, but has no stop in Żarka.
A large flooded gravel pit is located south of the village.
history
Żarka was first mentioned in 1419 under the name Serchaw . The former German place name Sercha appeared as early as 1426 . According to the Silesian parish manac of 1899, Sercha was then part of the parish in neighboring Lissa . Only in 2000 did the place get its own house of worship. Until 1945 a bridge connected Sercha with Nieder-Ludwigsdorf on the western bank of the river. In 1937 the place was renamed Burgundenau in the course of the Germanization of place names in the Third Reich. The place name should only last a short time, because after the end of the Second World War , Burgundenau, east of the Oder-Neisse line , was placed under Polish administration and has been called Żarka nad Nysą since then.
The place name derives, similar to the German places Groß Särchen ( Upper Sorbian Wulke Ždźary ), Särchen ( Zdźar ), Särichen ( Zdźarki ) and the Polish places Żarki Wielkie (Groß Särchen) and Żarki Małe (Little Särchen), from the Old Sorbian žďar, žar "Brand" from. It can be assumed that the corridor was opened up for settlement by clearing and burning a piece of forest.
