Bobrowice ( German Bobersberg ) is a place in the Powiat Krośnieński of the Lubusz Voivodeship in Poland . It has about 960 inhabitants and is the seat of the rural community of the same name with 3205 inhabitants (as of June 30, 2019).
Geographical location
The place is located in the central-east of the Lubusz Voivodeship on the left bank of the Bober River . State road 32 runs 13 kilometers to the north and leads to the Guben border crossing (35 kilometers) or the voivodeship capital Zielona Góra ( Grünberg , 55 kilometers). The Bober flows here through a valley that rises up to 100 meters to the west and flows into the Oder after about 20 kilometers . There are several lakes in the vicinity, which belong to the Lebuser Zealand (2005 European Landscape of the Year).
history
Today's Bobrowice goes back to a medieval Slavic settlement, which was probably built in the middle of the 9th century. As part of the Duchy of Crossen ( Krosno Odrzańskie ), Bobrowice belonged to the Kingdom of Poland until 1163 . After the death of Władysław II it was added to Silesia. The city eventually developed from a freedom around the Bobersberg Castle , which was built by the Silesian Piasts . For lack of money, the Burgflecken was pledged several times to the Margraves of Brandenburg . In 1329 Bobersberg was listed as a place in the Duchy of Sagan , making it part of the Kingdom of Bohemia at that time . In 1486 the place with Crossen came back to the Mark Brandenburg by inheritance. In the 17th century, Sorbian was also spoken in Bobersberg .
Until 1945 Bobersberg belonged to the district of Crossen in the administrative district of Frankfurt ,
Towards the end of the Second World War , the city was occupied by the Red Army in the spring of 1945 . After the war it was placed under Polish administration. In the following years the native population was expelled and replaced by Poles.
economy
Bobrowice was of supraregional importance as a pottery site in the late Middle Ages and modern times. The Bobersberg ceramics produced there until the 19th century essentially consisted of utensils, such as bowls and jugs made of glazed earthenware . The pottery was mainly traded eastwards to Russia. Since they were transhipped via Stettin , the Bobersberg ceramics, together with similar products from other Pomeranian pottery places, ended up in long-distance trade as Stettin goods . Well-known Bobersberg potters were the brothers Carl and Ernst Teichert. The founders of the Meissen Teichert-Werke came as orphans to a Bobersberg pottery family, where they were trained as master potters.
Church history
The Bobrowice Parish Church dates back to a medieval building, the date of which is unknown. This single-nave brick building with a west tower in front was so badly damaged by several damaging fires that it had to be demolished in 1851. From 1853 to 1856, the current building was rebuilt based on designs by Friedrich August Stüler . The organ installed in 1857 comes from the organ builder Schulz from Crossen.
Until the 17th century, preaching was also carried out in the Slavic (East Lower Sorbian) language in Bobersberg.
