history
Oberwüstegiersdorf belonged to the dominion of Fürstenstein in the Duchy of Schweidnitz . It was probably founded at the end of the 14th century. It was destroyed during the Hussite Wars and in 1498 it was still called "desolate". Around 1530 it was repopulated and a Protestant church was built. An evangelical clergyman is documented for the year 1536. In 1576 there were 21 farmers in "Ober-Giehrsdorff". The copper mining that had been in operation until then was stopped in 1586. Around 1614 a stone church was built, which was rebuilt after the devastation of the Thirty Years War in 1650 and handed over to the Catholics in 1654. Eleven house weavers are recorded for the year 1735.
After the First Silesian War in 1742, Oberwüstegiersdorf and most of Silesia fell to Prussia . In the same year a Protestant school was opened. During the Second Silesian War , Oberwüstegiersdorf suffered heavy looting on May 21, 1745. In 1772 the colony "Neuwüstegiersdorf" was founded, which was mostly inhabited by weavers. Linen weaving achieved economic importance. In 1799 the value of linen exports was 221,804 Reichstaler.
After the reorganization of Prussia, Oberwüstegiersdorf had belonged to the province of Silesia since 1815 and was incorporated into the Waldenburg district from 1816 , with which it remained connected until 1945. In 1840 there were 1152 inhabitants in Oberwüstegiersdorf, the number of looms was 80. In Neuwüstegiersdorf there were 150 inhabitants and 27 looms. A Catholic school was built in 1855 and a Catholic parish in 1869. Since 1874, "Ober Wüstegiersdorf" formed the district of the same name with the rural communities of Neu Wüstegiersdorf and Ober Wüstegiersdorf and the manor district of Ober Wüstegiersdorf. In 1880 Oberwüstegiersdorf received a train station on the Dittersbach – Glatz line . In 1882 and 1890 attempts were unsuccessful to resume copper mining. On January 1st, 1929 Neuwüstegiersdorf was incorporated into Oberwüstegiersdorf. In 1939 there were 1567 inhabitants. At the time of the Second World War , part of Oberwüstegiersdorf belonged to the Riese project , a satellite camp of the Groß-Rosen concentration camp , which was set up for the Todt organization . About 400 to 500 mostly Jewish prisoners were housed in the labor camp in Oberwüstegiersdorf. It was called a crushed stone works because the inmates worked in a quarry that supplied the adjacent construction sites. Part of the former barracks can still be visited today.
As a result of the Second World War, Oberwüstegiersdorf, like most of Silesia, was placed under Polish administration in 1945 and renamed Głuszyca Górna . Unless they had fled before, the German population was largely expelled in 1946 . Some of the new residents were displaced from eastern Poland . 1975-1998 Głuszyca Górna belonged to the Wałbrzych Voivodeship ( Waldenburg ).
