Bosatz

Coordinates: 50 °  N , 18 °  O Bosatz (Polish Bosacz ) was a village and between 1900 and 1945, a northern district of Ratibor .

history

Bosatz was probably created with the foundation of the Franciscan monastery , which was built in 1491 on the right bank of the Oder . Even then there was a wooden bridge that led to the city of Ratibor. Since the Franciscans are also known as barefoot or in Polish as "bosaki", the place name is derived from this. The monastery and the associated scrap wood church burned down in July 1519, so that the monks left the place. It was not until 1686 that the monastery was rebuilt elsewhere (in the suburb of Brunken ).

From the beginning, Bosatz belonged to the Duchy of Ratibor , with which it shared the history of its political and ecclesiastical affiliation. After the First Silesian War , in 1742 most of Silesia fell to Prussia . As a result of the Prussian administrative reforms, from 1815 it belonged to the province of Silesia in the administrative district of Opole . In 1816 it was assigned to the newly formed district of Ratibor .

From 1874 the rural community Bosatz was the seat of the administrative district of the same name , to which the rural communities Ostrog and Plania as well as the manor districts Bosatz, Schloßgut and Ostrog belonged. In 1873 Bosatz was owned by Duke Victor I of Ratibor with an area of ​​51 acres including a steam brewery and brickworks . In 1900 it was incorporated into the municipality of Ratibor. In 1913 the old wooden bridge was replaced by a reinforced concrete bridge.

As a result of the Second World War , Bosatz fell to Poland together with Ratibor in 1945. It was renamed Bosacz and incorporated into the Racibórz-Ostróg district. The ulica Bosacka , formerly Bosatzer Strasse, is reminiscent of Bosatz .
