Jemielna
Jemielna (German Gimmel ) is a village with around 300 inhabitants in the urban and rural municipality of Bierutów in the Powiat Oleśnicki in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship ( Poland ). Before 1945, the village belonged to the district of Oels in the Prussian province of Lower Silesia .
history
The village was first mentioned as Gemelno in 1218. It was first mentioned under the later name Gimmel in a document from Duke Heinrich III. from Breslau in 1266. It had this name since then and until 1945, when it became Polish.
The longest Gimmel estate was owned by the von Dyhrn family , who also owned the neighboring estates of Ostrowine, Pontwitz , Schwierse and Stronn. A smaller part of the Gimmel estate belonged to the von Prittwitz family until 1808 and was then sold to the Counts of Dyhrn.
Until 1813, the owner of the property and the associated Vorwerk Obrath was the Prussian diplomat Count Wilhelm von Dyhrn . Gimmel was bequeathed to his 13-year-old son Alexander Carl, but since he was still a minor, the rule was taken over by his mother Alba Countess Dyhrn, who came from Pomerania and owned numerous goods there. Alba von Dyhrn was the sister of Matthias von Köller and the aunt of the Prussian interior minister Ernst von Köller .
After 1850, when the Gimmel Dyhrns lived permanently in England, Gimmel was leased to the Richthofen and Marwitz , but later also to the mining industrialist Anton Johann Klausa, who also bought part of the property. His heir and the next tenant was his son Theodor and after him Mr. Wilhelm Lübbert, who died on Gimmel in 1900. At the beginning Lübbert was employed there as the count's estate manager, but after a few years he bought the entire estate from the counts. Gimmel sold his wife Klara (née von Hülsen ) in 1905 to the industrialist Karl Trettau from Wilhelmsburg . His son Waldemar Trettau was the last German owner of the estate, which at the time covered around 650 hectares.
