history
Johannesberg was laid out at the end of the 16th century on lordly forest land and named after the St. Johann ore mine that existed at the time and was destroyed during the Thirty Years' War . It initially consisted of a judge's estate , a flour mill and 30 houses and formed its own village community. With the foundation, living space was to be created for the workers employed in the mining industry and, at the same time, mining for various metals should be promoted. The neighboring villages of Wilhelmsthal , Mohrau , Mühlbach , Kamnitz and Klessengrund were also created during this time. They are all in the southeast of the County of Glatz and were owned by the Bohemian Chamber . Together with other chamber villages in the Landeck district, Johannesberg was acquired in 1684 by the governor of Glatz, Michael Wenzel von Althann , who formed the Seitenberg rule from the acquired villages .
After the Silesian Wars , Johannesberg and the County of Glatz fell to Prussia in 1763 with the Peace of Hubertusburg . For the beginning of the 19th century: a funeral chapel, a school, a mill and 28 piece people. 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 district of Habelschwerdt , with which it remained connected until 1945. Since 1874, the rural community Johannesberg belonged to the district Seitenberg. In 1939 there were 98 inhabitants.
As a result of the Second World War , Johannesberg, like almost all of Silesia, fell to Poland and was renamed Janowa Góra . The German residents were expelled. Subsequently, the number of residents decreased significantly, leaving most of the houses and homesteads to decay. In the 1950s, uranium was searched for in Janowa Góra without success. In the years 1975-1998 Janowa Góra belonged to the Wałbrzych Voivodeship (German Waldenburg ). Since the political change of 1989 the tourist importance of Janowa Góra has increased.
