Radzimów (German Bellmannsdorf ) is a village in Poland, which lies in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship in the powiat Zgorzelecki (Görlitz). It belongs to the municipality of Sulików (Schönberg).

location

Radzimów is an elongated forest hoof village with loosely arranged buildings in the Jizera Mountains foothills in the valley of the Czerwona Woda ( Rothwasser ).

history

In a handwritten source from 1352 the place is first mentioned as Baldramstorff, later also Waldramstorff (1411) or Belmsdorf (1583). The name Bellmannsdorf first appeared in the 17th century and lasted until 1945. As a result of the Peace of Prague, the Upper Lusatian village came to the Electorate of Saxony in 1635 and fell to Prussia in 1815 . Until the end of the Second World War, Bellmannsdorf was in the Lauban district . In the years 1975-1998 the place was administratively part of the Jelenia Góra Voivodeship (Hirschberg).

Polish settlers who came from Kresy Wschodnie after the Second World War changed the name to Lisice (presumably after the silver fox that appeared here before the war). This name did not last long, however, because a special committee at the Ministry of Public Administration renamed the place Radzimów (after the Slavic name Radzim ). As a result, no one currently remembers the previous name except for a few older residents.

Local division

Radzimów consists of the localities Radzimów Górny ( Upper Bellmannsdorf ), Radzimów Średnie ( Middle Bellmannsdorf ) and Radzimów Dolny ( Lower Bellmannsdorf ). Until 1945, Ober Bellmannsdorf and Nieder Bellmannsdorf (with Middle Bellmannsdorf ) were independent communities.

church

An earlier church in Bellmannsdorf already existed in 1346; she belonged to the pastor of Schönberg in the deanery of Görlitz. The first function of a Protestant clergyman was exercised by the preacher Lorenz Frank through the " Dominion of Friedland ". In 1548 Jan Klotz from Bautzen took office. In the middle of the 17th century, the Protestant pastor Hanicäus, who had been expelled from Reichenberg , settled. In 1686 the old church was thoroughly renovated and a new tower was added. Lightning struck this sacred building several times in the 18th century (1719, 1724, 1757). The church could no longer hold all the parishioners and was also threatened with collapse. It was demolished in 1803.

The current church of the Roman Catholic parish of St. Maria Magdalena was built in 1804–1806 as a Protestant church and consecrated in October 1806. The construction costs, not counting the working hours, were excessive: exactly 9,458 thalers, 22 groschen and 2 pfennigs. In May 1831 three bells were installed in the church, cast in Kleinwelka near Bautzen. On June 11, 1837, lightning struck the church tower; he slew a 13-year-old girl and drugged 13 people.

The choice of St. Mary Magdalene as church patroness was by no means accidental. After the Second World War, many people came to Bellmannsdorf from the area of ​​the Hananczów parish (33 km east-southeast of Lemberg ) in eastern Poland ( Kresy ), parishes under the patronage of the aforementioned saints. Their solidarity with their roots and the desire for long-standing cultic parish fair tradition meant that the decision to choose these saints was obvious. The Church commemorates the saints on July 22nd.

On January 25, 1966, on the basis of a resolution of the Voivodeship Conservationist, the church was entered in the Register of Immovable Cultural Monuments under No. 1499, registered by the National Institute.

The pneumatic organ was built in 1922 by the organ building company Friedrich Ernst Gustav Heinze in Sorau (now Żary ) as Opus 98. It has 19 stops for 2 manuals and pedal as well as some registration aids. Details and pictures can be found at the Polish Virtual Organ Center (Polskie Wirtualne Centrum Organowe).
