history

Ruins of Schnallenstein Castle

Seitendorf was first mentioned in 1358. It belonged to the Schnallenstein Castle and fell to the Bohemian sovereign after it was destroyed by the Hussites in 1428 . In 1560 it was dedicated to the parish church of Oberlangenau. In 1568, the then Lutheran residents built a wooden church that served as a Catholic church after 1622. In 1633, 81 residents died of the plague. With the permission of the Prague Consistory , a stone church was built in 1693–1694 dedicated to St. Michael was consecrated and was initially a branch of Ebersdorf. In 1665 Seitendorf was added to the re-established parish of Rosenthal.

In 1684 Seitendorf was acquired along with other chamber villages in the Habelschwerdt district by the governor of Glatz, Michael Wenzel von Althann , who already owned the neighboring dominions of Mittelwalde, Wölfelsdorf and Schönfeld. From the newly acquired village communities and the Nieder- and Oberlangenau parts he formed the rule Schnallenstein , the main town of which was Rosenthal, so that it was also known as the "rule Rosenthal". The Freirichtergut , to which u. a. Twelve gardeners and cottagers belonged and remained independent.

After the Silesian Wars , Seitendorf and the County of Glatz came to Prussia in 1763 with the Peace of Hubertusburg . After the reorganization of Prussia, it belonged to the province of Silesia from 1815 and was initially incorporated into the district of Glatz. In 1818 it was reclassified to the Habelschwerdt district , to which it belonged until 1945. In 1939 there were 316 inhabitants.

After the end of the Second World War , Seitendorf, like almost all of Silesia, was placed under Polish administration by the Soviet occupying power in accordance with the Potsdam Agreement . Then began the influx of Polish populations, most of whom came from the areas east of the Curzon Line that had fallen to the Soviet Union . The Polish place name Gniewoszów was introduced. In the period that followed, the German population, unless they had fled before, was expelled from Seitendorf by the local Polish administrative authority .

Because of the remote location, many of the new Polish residents left Gniewoszów again, so that the population fell sharply. 1975-1998 the village belonged to the Wałbrzych Voivodeship (German Waldenburg ).
