Jagniątków [ jagˈɲɔntkuf ] (German Agnetendorf , Polish 1945/46 initially Agnieszków ) is a district of the independent city Jelenia Góra ( Hirschberg in the Giant Mountains ) in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship ( Poland ).
geography
Jagniątków is located in the Silesian part of the Giant Mountains . South of Jagniątków is the Agnetendorfer Schneegrube ( Polish: Czarny Kocioł Jagniątkowski ), a glacier cirque near the Polish-Czech border.
history
The village was founded after 1621 by Bohemian Protestant exiles and named after Barbara Agnes von Schaffgotsch, the wife of the landowner Hans Ulrich von Schaffgotsch .
Agnetendorf is best known for the Wiesenstein house . The poet and Nobel Prize laureate Gerhart Hauptmann had a manor house built here in 1900 by the Berlin architect Hans Grisebach , the exterior of which is more reminiscent of a small castle, but the interior was developed in Art Nouveau style . In 1901 Hauptmann moved into the Wiesenstein house. The furnishings were not completed until 1922 with the wall paintings by Johannes Maximilian Avenarius and Ernst Paul Weise in a hall of the house. Haus Wiesenstein was at the same time Hauptmann's workplace and a popular meeting place for artists.
At the end of the Second World War , the Red Army captured Agnetendorf. The place came under the administration of the People's Republic of Poland . They renamed the place in "Agnieszków", drove out the inhabitants and settled it with Poles . A Soviet letter of protection allowed the aged and sick Gerhart Hauptmann and his relatives to continue to live in the Wiesenstein house. After Hauptmann's death on June 6, 1946, his coffin was taken to the Soviet occupation zone by special train and buried in the monastery on Hiddensee. Charlotte E. Pauly also traveled to Germany in the special train . In 1933 she moved to Agnetendorf and made friends with the Hauptmanns. The Wiesenstein house became a children's home.
In 1989, the German Chancellor Helmut Kohl and the Polish Prime Minister Tadeusz Mazowiecki agreed to build a Gerhart Hauptmann memorial in Silesia, financed jointly by both sides. In 1999, the implementation of this idea began with the renovation of the Wiesenstein house, where in August 2001 the municipal museum "Gerhart-Hauptmann-Haus", which is sponsored by the city of Jelenia Góra, was opened. The captain's time in Agnetendorf is the subject of the novel "Wiesenstein" by Hans Pleschinski .
