Jerzmanki (German: Hermsdorf ) is a village in the Polish Upper Lusatia in the powiat Zgorzelecki in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship . It is located about three kilometers east of the town of Zgorzelec , to whose municipality of the same name it also belongs.

history

Church św. Franciszka z Asyżu (German: Church of St. Francis of Assisi )

Little is known about the history of Hermsdorf. The Church of św. Franciszka z Asyżu (German: Church of St. Francis of Assisi , until 1945: Laurentiuskirche ) probably dates back to the middle of the 13th century and was named a parish church in 1346. It measures a height of 30 meters to the top of the church tower. The church walls are up to two meters thick and the three bells of the peal come from the years 1470, 1479 and 1508. Another striking building in Hermsdorf was the castle or manor, of which only farm buildings still exist. Hermsdorf suffered badly from the Hussites that passed through in 1426 and the plague that raged between 1463 and 1464. 200 residents were killed in the Thirty Years War . During the wars of liberation against Napoleon , Blücher and Sacken established their headquarters in Hermsdorf on September 8, 1813 . A French army corps was camped not far in the village of Schönbrunn.

With new settlements in the direction of Langen Berg and Jäckelsberg, Hermsdorf grew ever closer to the city of Görlitz.

After the end of the Second World War , the part of Upper Lusatia east of the Lusatian Neisse came to Poland and thus Hermsdorf as well. Hermsdorf was renamed Jerzmanki. Jerzmanki still has its own mayor and a grammar school that emerged from the elementary school built in 1885. Since 2001 around 250 pupils in the seventh to ninth grades have attended the school every year. The numerous ponds in the village are mainly used for fish farming.

Rail connection

The Silesian Mountain Railway has touched the village since 1865 . At first the trains passed the place without stopping. However, a stop must have been built by 1880, as the Hermsdorf stop (near Görlitz) appears in the 1880 timetables . The once single-storey timber-framed service building with an attached waiting hall gave way to a stately station building with two platforms after the double-track expansion of the line. Up until the beginning of the First World War , the station already had four through tracks and an interlocking at each head of the station for a total of six points, including two double crossing points . On the way between Schönbrunn and Hermsdorf, a two-story civil servants' house was built for the railway employees. After the Second World War, the second track was dismantled in 1946 and the electrical contact wire built on the route in 1923 was also dismantled. In 2008, however, there were still four parallel station tracks in the station area, which were connected by five single and one double crossing points. In 2008, the two signal boxes were still manned for operating the points and signals. The reception building and the former civil servants' residence are now used as residential buildings.

Since December 11, 2011, five passenger trains have been running on the line between Zgorzelec and Lubań on the Jelenia Góra –Lubań Śląski – Jerzmanki – Zgorzelec route.

Personalities

Adolph Gottlob von Schachmann

Two important Upper Lusatians also come from Hermsdorf. On the one hand Carl Adolph Gottlob von Schachmann and on the other hand Wendel Roskopf the Younger. Von Schachmann was born on November 28, 1725 on his family's ancestral estate in the village. He was a naturalist, painter and numismatist. Wendel Roskopf the Younger was born in Hermsdorf at the end of the 15th century and was an important stonemason in the region. Among other things, he was involved in the extension of the Nikolaikirche (1519) in nearby Görlitz and the renaissance portal of the Gröditzburg (1522).
