Kargowa [ kargˈɔva ] (German Unruhstadt , also Karge ) is a town with 3600 inhabitants in the powiat Zielonogórski of the Polish Lebus Voivodeship . It is the seat of the town-and-country municipality of the same name with around 5800 inhabitants.
Geographical location
The city is located 40 kilometers northeast of the city of Zielona Góra ( Grünberg in Silesia ) on the Obrzyca ( city-and-rural municipality (gmina miejsko-wiejska)) .
history
The first mention of the place Cargowo comes from the year 1360. Karge developed into a center of rural trade and in 1630 was granted market rights. The market town was given the privilege of holding six annual markets . The well-known Karger pig markets brought the place popularly the name Schwein-Karge .
In 1641 the Starost von Gniezno , Christoph von Unruh , acquired the market town Karge and founded a settlement for evangelical religious refugees from Silesia in the immediate vicinity , which was named after him.
The two places merged quickly, and in 1661 Unruhstadt received city rights . The local population mostly continued to use the shorter term Karge instead of the city's official name .
In 1793 Unruhstadt became part of Prussia , then briefly part of the Duchy of Warsaw between 1807 and 1815 .
In 1818 the city became part of the Prussian district of Bomst and in 1938 it joined the district of Züllichau-Schwiebus . At the beginning of the 19th century, Unruhstadt was a center for cloth making. The slopes between Obra and Fauler Obra were used for viticulture . The Evangelical Church maintained a hospital in Unruhstadt.
Towards the end of the Second World War , the advance of the Red Army in the spring of 1945 caused great damage to the city and its surroundings. In the same year the city was renamed part of the People's Republic of Poland and Kargowa . Most of the German population was expelled based on the so-called Bierut Decrees .
