history
Rothenbach was first mentioned in 1550 as a property of the von Hochberg auf Fürstenstein noble family , to which the town was probably founded. After the First Silesian War in 1742 it fell together with Silesia to Prussia . After the reorganization of Prussia, it belonged to the province of Silesia from 1815 and was incorporated into the Landeshut district from 1816 . It formed its own rural community and was the seat of the administrative district of the same name , to which the rural communities Gaablau and Liebersdorf also belonged. With an administrative reform in 1934, the Rothenbach district was added to the Waldenburg district, with which it remained connected until 1945.
Rothenbach only gained economic importance after 1850, when the Gustavgrube from Schwarzwaldau and the neighboring Abendröthegrube relocated their main operations here. In 1939 Rothenbach had 4,535 residents.
As a result of the Second World War , Rothenbach fell to Poland in 1945, like almost all of Silesia, and was renamed Gorce . The German population was expelled. Some of the new residents were displaced from eastern Poland . In 1954 Gorce was elevated to a city-like settlement and in 1962 to a city. In 1973 it was merged with the neighboring city of Boguszów ( Gottesberg ) to form a city under the double name Boguszów-Gorce , with which it has since shared its further history and development.
