Działoszyn (German Königshain ) is a village with 710 inhabitants in the municipality of Bogatynia in Poland . It is located five kilometers south of Ostritz in the Polish part of Upper Lusatia and belongs to the powiat Zgorzelecki .
geography
The elongated Waldhufendorf stretches along an old trade route from Ostritz to Bogatynia in a shallow valley up to the Königshain ridge. Neighboring towns are Posada ( Rusdorf ) in the northwest, Bratków ( Blumberg ) in the north, Wyszków ( Maxdorf ) in the east and Zatonie ( Seitendorf ) in the south.
history
The first documented mention of Königshain comes from the purchase of land by the St. Marienthal Monastery from the property of Bolko von Bieberstein on Friedland in 1280. After the monastery expanded its property in Königshain in 1304, it acquired the remaining part of the village from the Dohna Burgraves . A church can be found in the village since 1384. As a monastic village, Königshain remained Catholic even after the Reformation . In 1493 the church was replaced by a new one, which was dedicated to St. Bartholomew . In 1766 the church had become too small and a new building began according to plans by Johann Joseph Kuntz from Reichenberg . On July 13, 1769, the parish was consecrated by the auxiliary bishop of Prague, Andreas Kaiser .
In 1773 Archbishop Anton Peter Příchovský von Příchovice established the "Brotherhood for Perpetual Adoration of the Most Holy Altar Sacrament" in Königshain, which was confirmed in the same year by Pope Clement XIV . After King grove in 1635 as part of the Oberlausitz of Bohemia in the Electorate of Saxony had arrived, the church still belonged to 1783 to the Archbishopric of Prague and then to the bishopric of Bautzen .
A new rectory was built between 1818 and 1821 and the schoolhouse was also renovated between 1822 and 1823. The owner of the Kretscham held local jurisdiction. In 1770 a fire destroyed the Kretscham, and the same happened again in 1852. In 1830 the place had 1275 inhabitants, who lived mainly from agriculture and linen weaving and spinning . In 1840 the floor of the church was equipped with granite slabs from the Königshain mountains . In 1853 the population had increased to 1,479. In 1847 a spinning school was established, which was destroyed five years later during the Kretschambrand.
In 1933, 1,094 people lived in the municipality belonging to the Zittau administration . After the end of the Second World War , the village, two kilometers east of the Lusatian Neisse , became part of Poland and the German residents were expelled. The place was initially named Królewszczyzny and remained an independent municipality. Around 1970 it was incorporated into Bogatynia.
