Ellguth ( Polish: Ligota Oleska ) is a village with around 400 inhabitants in the powiat Oleski of the Opole Voivodeship in Poland . As a Schulzenamt it belongs to the bilingual rural community Radlau / Radłów .

geography

The street village of Ellguth is located in the northeast of the Opole Voivodeship , about 12 kilometers northeast of the district town of Olesno (Rosenberg OS) and about 45 km northwest of Częstochowa (Czestochowa) on the Silesian plateau , in historical Upper Silesia . The Prosna stream flows east of the village .

history

The village was first mentioned in 1372 as Elgotha .

Originally Ellguth was part of the Duchy of Opole , which broke away from Poland in 1327, became a Bohemian fief and fell to Habsburg in 1532 . In 1742 the village with most of Silesia became Prussian . In 1816 Ellguth (sometimes also Ellguth-Sternalitz to distinguish it from other places of this name ) was assigned to the district of Rosenberg OS . In addition to the rural community of Ellguth, east of the village, directly south of the colony Psurow on the Prosna, there was the manor of the same name . Both belonged to the Sternalitz district .

The inhabitants of the almost entirely Catholic village were parish off to Sternalitz. In 1861 Ellguth received a school a little east of the actual town.

1945 Ellguth was reached by the Red Army and placed under Polish administration, which gave the place the name Ligota Oleska . Since not all German residents were expelled after the Second World War, a German minority was able to survive in the area . In accordance with the Polish minority law of 2005, the municipality of Radlau , to which Ellguth belongs as a Schulzenamt, became officially bilingual in 2006 and introduced bilingual place names in 2007.
