View of Jarkowice

After the First Silesian War , Hermsdorf fell to Prussia in 1742, along with most of Silesia . After the reorganization of Prussia in 1815, it belonged to the province of Silesia and from 1816 was incorporated into the Landeshut district, with which it remained connected until 1945. To distinguish it from other place names with the same name, it was given the addition "urban". It formed its own rural community and, along with the towns of Hartau, Michelsdorf and Petzelsdorf, belonged to the municipal district of township Hermsdorf, to which the town of Buchwald was incorporated in 1936. In 1939 there were 951 residents in Hermsdorf.

As a result of the Second World War , Hermsdorf fell to Poland in 1945, like almost all of Silesia, and was renamed Jarkowice . The German population was expelled. Some of the new residents were displaced from eastern Poland . Because of the remote location, numerous houses and farms were subsequently left to decay. 1975-1998 Jarkowice belonged to the Jelenia Góra Voivodeship .
