Karłowiec [ karˈwɔvjɛt͡s ] (German Karlsberg , also Karlsberg am Queis ) is a village and Schulzenamt in the urban and rural municipality of Mirsk (Friedeberg am Queis) in the district of Lwówek Śląski (Löwenberg) , which belongs to the Lower Silesian Voivodeship in southwest Poland .

Historically , Karlsberg, founded by exiles on the western bank of the Queis , was one of the easternmost villages in the Queiskkreis and Upper Lusatia .

geography

Karłowiec is located in the Mirsk Basin, a valley in the Jizera Mountains foothills , around three kilometers north of Mirsk, 20 kilometers southwest of the district town of Lwówek Śląski and 120 kilometers west of the Lower Silesian capital, Breslau (Wrocław). The Czech border is about ten kilometers to the south-west.

Brzeziniec (Birkicht) is located south-east on the other side of the Queis . Surrounding places are Zacisze (Hartha) in the north, Wieża (Wiesa) in the north-east, Proszówka (Gräflich Neundorf) in the east, Mirsk in the south, Giebułtów (Gebhardsdorf) in the south-west, Augustów (Augustthal) in the west and Bartoszówka (Scholzendorf) in the north-west.

Between Mirsk and Karłowiec the Schwarzbach (Czarny Potok) flows into the Queis, after shortly before it had taken up the Lausitz (Łużyca) near Giebułtów .

After the Thirty Years' War , Protestant religious refugees came to the Protestant Electorate of Saxony from the Austrian countries of Bohemia and Silesia, among others, as a result of the Counter Reformation . The small town of Goldentraum and the villages of Hagendorf ( laid out in 1660 under Christoph von Nostitz ), Scholzendorf , Goldbach and Karlsberg were created during the rule of Tzschocha . After the town of Friedeberg , which came from the Queiskkreis to the Silesian Duchy of Jauer in 1346, Karlsberg was the first place downstream on the Upper Lusatian and thus Saxon side of the Queis. The population of the village belonging to Hartha was parish to Ober-Wiesa . In 1825 only three of the 253 inhabitants were Catholics.

The border between Friedeberg and Karlsberg remained in place even after the city and most of Silesia fell to Prussia after the First Silesian War in 1742 and the Kingdom of Saxony had to cede East Oberlausitz to Prussia as a result of the Congress of Vienna in 1815: Karlsberg came to Prussia in 1816 Lauban district , while Friedeberg was incorporated into the Löwenberg district in Silesia .

Karlsberg became part of the Gebhardsdorf district , formed in 1874 , which on January 1, 1908 consisted of the rural communities Gebhardsdorf , Hartha, Karlsberg and Wiesa and the manor districts Gebhardsdorf, Hartha and Wiesa. On October 1, 1938, Hartha, roughly three times the size of its inhabitants, was incorporated into Karlsberg. The reason for this is likely to be to be found in the government enforced deletion of the place name ending in -a and thus regarded as Slavic. Wiesa was renamed Wiese (Lower Silesia) in the previous year .

As a result of the Second World War and Poland's shift to the west, Karlsberg fell to Poland in 1945 and was renamed Karłowiec. The German population was expelled, and the new settlers included expellees from eastern Poland .

During the Polish administrative reforms, the place was assigned to the Jelenia Góra Voivodeship in 1975 and to the newly created Lower Silesian Voivodeship in 1999 .
