history

St. Nicholas Church

Little is known about the origins of Ellguth Proskau. The place name never appears primarily in correspondence from the Proskauer Hof. Because of its proximity to the Proskauer Hof, Ellguth Proskau was certainly a princely property. The place name "Ellguth" comes from Old Czech and was derived from lhůta grace period . It was about the founding of the Slavic regional development in the 12th-14th centuries. Century. In German settlement areas the name was Germanized into Welhotten, Ölhütten, Ellgoth or similar.

The Catholic school was established in 1796.

In 1845 there was a Catholic church, a Catholic school and another 83 houses in the village. In the same year, 530 people lived in Ellguth Proskau, five of them Protestants. Around 1864 the village had 30 half-farmers, five gardeners, 14 cottagers, twelve local cottagers and the following tradesmen: two Kretschmer, a blacksmith, a water miller, an earthenware dealer and two rake dealers. The livestock consisted of 31 horses, eight oxen, 150 cows, 38 young cattle, six pigs and 18 goats. The number of horses suggests that they were not only used in agriculture - "Since sour grass grew on the meadows, the number of cattle in the village was not particularly large." Felix Triest puts the game population in the Ellguther forest area at 30 red deer, eight wild boar and 57 roe deer. Furthermore, he states that the servitude rights of Ellguther Theroffen were compensated by land in 1863. In 1874, the Jaschkowitz district was founded, to which Ellguth Proskau was incorporated. On December 11, 1875, the villagers at the time elected six church leaders and 18 community representatives. The church leaders included: Franz Hudalla, Josef Langosch and Anton Wotzka. Community representatives were among others Franz Müller from Ellguth Proskau and Josef Miklis. The election results were announced by the electoral committee Kilisch on December 24, 1875, so that the newly elected community representatives could begin their service for the community in the following year. The property of the church is said to have amounted to 290 thaler. Przyschetz and Jaschkowitz were parish.

In the referendum in Upper Silesia of 1920, 560 villagers voted to remain with the German Reich and 76 for Poland; four votes were declared invalid. In the Second and Third Silesian Uprising there was no major fighting either, but the German side set up a hidden arsenal on the edge of the village. In 1933 the place had 1051 inhabitants. On August 10, 1936, the place name was changed to Frei Proskau . In 1939 there were 1,104 people in Frei Proskau. Until 1945 the village belonged to the Opole district

As a result of the Second World War, Frei Proskau fell under Polish administration in 1945, like most of Silesia . Subsequently the place was renamed Ligota Prószkowska and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. In 1950 it was incorporated into the Opole Voivodeship. In 1999 the place came to the newly founded Powiat Opolski ( Opole district ).
