history

The Colonie Carmerau was founded in the course of the Friderizian colonization by the Prussian minister Johann Heinrich von Carmer (1720-1801) and named after him. The older part of the settlement was laid out in 1764 with 20 settler sites, where Austrians settled, but most of them left the place again. In 1776 a new part followed with 10 colonist positions. Soon afterwards, the patrimonial court of Castle Groß Strehlitz asserted its territorial claim, whereupon the northern part of the old and the whole new district fell to the same and from then on was called Count Carmerau . The district that remained in the Opole district was called Königlich Carmerau (owned by the Royal Domain Office in Opole). There was a Catholic school in Königlich Carmerau. The population of both districts was mostly Catholic and parish to Sczedrzik . The few Protestants belonged to the Malapane parish .

Carmerau cut the district boundary along the main road into two independent rural communities until 1939. It was not until April 1, 1939, that the Karmerau [Royal] community was incorporated into the Groß Strehlitz district and merged with Karmerau Graeflich to form the Karmerau community.

In the referendum in Upper Silesia in 1921, 59 of the 124 eligible voters in Königlich Karmerau voted for Germany and 64 for Poland. Of the 211 eligible voters in Graeflich Karmerau, 71 people voted for Germany and 139 for Poland. Königlich Karmerau and Gräflich Karmerau remained in the Weimar Republic after 1922 .

In 1945 the place came under Polish administration as Spórok . Since 1950 the place has been in the Opole Voivodeship . In 1982 a Roman Catholic church was built in Carmerau - a branch church of the Parish Krasiejów (Krascheow). With the entry into force of the peace settlement of the Two Plus Four Treaty in 1991, Święciny also became part of Poland under international law. However, this had already been confirmed by the individual German states with the Görlitz Agreement and the Warsaw and Moscow Treaties .

On November 14, 2008, the place was also given the official German name Carmerau .
