Dobrodzień [ dɔˈbrɔʥɛɲ ] ( German Guttentag , formerly also Gutentag ) is a small town in the powiat Oleski in the Polish Voivodeship Opole and capital of the town-and-country municipality of the same name with around 10,000 inhabitants, which has been officially bilingual since 2009 (Polish and German) .
geography
The city is located in the Upper Silesia region at 253 m above sea level. NHN , about 15 kilometers south of Olesno ( Rosenberg OS ) and 35 kilometers east of Opole .
history
The history of the place began around 1163, when the area was proven to be part of the Duchy of Opole . The first written mention as Dobrosin comes from the year 1279. For 1300 the name form Dobradin is handed down. After the Piast ducal line died out in 1327, the entire Opole region and the city of Guttentag came to Bohemia through inheritance rights . The city charter was Dobradin 1384 by Magdeburg Law . The city's coat of arms also dates from this period, and its main features are still there today. With Bohemia, the city passed to Habsburg in 1526 . In 1574 the place was mentioned as Dobrodzin and in 1636 Guttentag appeared.
After the final decision in the Silesian Wars, to the detriment of the Habsburgs in 1742, Guttentag was assigned to Prussia and in 1816 to the Lublinitz district in the Silesian administrative district of Opole and, in addition to the city of Lublinitz, also served as a garrison for the Prussian army. On Whit Monday in 1846, a devastating fire raged in Guttentag, which destroyed numerous buildings. The parish church also fell victim to the flames. At the beginning of the 20th century, Guttentag had a Protestant church, two Catholic churches, a synagogue , a forest ranger's office and was the seat of a local court .
The connection to the rail network took place in 1913 with the newly created small railway line to the Vossowska railway junction. The steam locomotive, which was used as a train carriage until the 1950s, was popularly called "Dobrodzieńska Koza" (Polish: "Guttentager goat"). The name was given by the loud "snorting" of the kettle, which was slightly undersized for steep slopes. In the referendum in Upper Silesia in 1921 on further state membership, 1664 votes (79.5%) were cast in Guttentag for remaining with Germany and 430 votes (20.5%) for joining Poland. Even if the entire constituency of Lublinitz had voted for Germany with a narrow majority, most of them went to Poland; Guttentag, on the other hand, remained German and then became the capital of a new Guttentag district. As part of this reorganization, the place Mischline was incorporated into the new district.
In 1939, the area around the town was the deployment area for German troops under General Reichenbach for the attack on Poland . The end of the Second World War began for Guttentag on January 21, when the Red Army bombarded the city for several hours and then occupied it. By resolution of the Soviet command, the place with its barely 1050 remaining inhabitants was placed under Polish administration on April 15, 1945 according to the Potsdam Agreement . The city of Guttentag was renamed Dobrodzień . The immigration of Polish migrants began, some of whom came from areas east of the Curzon Line , where they had belonged to the Polish minority. Most of the German local townspeople were subsequently evicted by the local Polish administrative authorities .
A year later, 3,277 people were living in the city again. The rebuilt school opened on October 12, 1947. With the entry into force of the Two-Plus-Four Treaty in 1991, the Polish administration of the place ended, and the place remained with Poland, subject to a future peace settlement. The agreement was preceded by the Görlitz Agreement or the Warsaw and Moscow Treaties.
Especially in the rural parts of the municipality, a strong German minority was able to survive. According to the last Polish census of 2002, 25.3% of the municipality's population belonged to this, and a further 6.4% described themselves as "Silesians". On July 4, 2008, additional official German place names were introduced in the municipality, and German as the second official language on May 13, 2009. On November 9, 2009, bilingual place-name signs were set up in Dobrodzień and in 24 other districts.
