history

Kaltwasser was first mentioned in a document on May 25, 1223. In 1260 it was mentioned as "Zimnowodca" and in 1376 in the church records as "Caldeborn".

The first school in town was built in 1858. In 1910 there were 725 inhabitants. In the referendum on March 20, 1921, 70 eligible voters voted to remain with Germany and 181 for Poland. Nevertheless, cold water remained with the German Reich. In 1925 the place had 696 and 1933 676 inhabitants. Until 1945 the place was in the district of Groß Strehlitz . During the Second World War , a satellite camp of the Groß-Rosen concentration camp was set up in Kaltwasser , where prisoners had to work for the Riese project .

In 1945 the previously German place came under Polish administration, was renamed Zimna Wódka and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. In 1950 the place became part of the Opole Voivodeship and in 1999 the re-established Powiat Strzelecki . On August 28, 2006, German was introduced as the second official language in the municipality of Ujest, which Kaltwasser belongs to. On August 15, 2008 at around 5:00 p.m., a cyclone that had previously formed immediately southwest of the village hit the village and damaged 15 properties. This then moved on to Schironowitz . In November 2008, the place was also given the official German place name Kaltwasser .
