history

Weißholz ( Weisholz ) southwest of the city of Poznan and east of the city of Glogau on a map of the province of Poznan from 1905 (areas marked in yellow indicate areas with a predominantly Polish- speaking population at the time ).

For centuries, the village of Weisholz was a noble manor village that belonged to the landowner. In the 15th century, the Kottwitz family owned Weissholz. In 1553 Fabian von Kottwitz († 1564) is named as the owner of the estate. Another Fabian von Kottwitz auf Weisholz, who had moved into the University of Marburg in July 1596 and who later gained respect as a scholar and traveler, died prematurely in 1622, according to others in 1621.

Under the name Weißholz, the village belonged to the district of Glogau in the administrative district of Liegnitz in the province of Silesia in the German Empire until 1945 .

Towards the end of the Second World War , the region was occupied by the Red Army in the spring of 1945 . A short time later, Weißholz was placed under Polish administration. In the following years the villagers were expelled and replaced by Poles.

Population up to 1945

  • 1933: 319

Parish until 1945

Shortly after the Reformation, the villagers converted to Protestantism, which was partly due to the fact that the owner of the village, Fabian von Kottwitz, was Protestant. First the Protestant churches in the neighboring parishes were visited. Then between 1610 and 1614 a Herr von Schweinitz had a solid village church built throughout in Weisholz, for which Emperor Rudolf II had given him permission (under the name Hof-Kapelle ). Weißholz was the seat of a parish , to which around a dozen villages with a total of over 1,700 souls belonged around the middle of the 19th century. The church had an organ for which the parishioners had collected 300 Reichstaler .
