geography

Geographical location

The street village Kazimierz is located in the south of the Opole Voivodeship , about six kilometers southeast of Oberglogau and about 18 km west of Kędzierzyn-Koźle in historic Upper Silesia on the Straduna .

history

The area of ​​today's Kazimierz in the southwest corner of the Duchy of Opole donated the Opole dukes to the Cistercian monastery Leubus . The town itself was probably from Opole Duke Casimir I founded. His son Mieszko II granted Kasimir permission to settle Germans in 1238. The provost church in Kasimir , which was looked after by the Cistercians, is documented as early as 1223 .

The new location was suspended as a city under German law with its own aldermen's chair . For example, a jury's seal is proven for the year 1393 , which shows the letter K under a crown and flanked by two crowned heads and thus probably refers to the local founder Duke Casimir. The unfortified city was destroyed in the Hussite Wars in 1428 and then lost its urban character as a village. With the Reformation , the local parish church briefly became Protestant until the area was re-Catholicized .

Casimir belonged to the Duchy of Opole , which had been a fiefdom of the Crown of Bohemia since 1327 . After the death of the last Duke of Opole, Johann II , the duchy fell as a settled fiefdom to Bohemia, whose kings had been the Habsburgs since 1526 . After the First Silesian War , Casimir and most of Silesia fell to Prussia in 1742 . While it originally belonged to the Neustädter Kreis , Kasimir was assigned to the Leobschütz district in 1816. In the course of secularization , the Leubus monastery and with it the Cistercian provost of Casimir were dissolved in 1810. The provost palace passed to the von Prittwitz family , who built a parsonage for the local pastor, who had previously resided in the manor palace, in 1819 and took over the patronage of the former provost church.

Casimir actually consisted of the parts of the village, Count Casimir and Provost Casimir , each of which still had an estate district. In 1861 all residents of the Roman Catholic denomination were mainly active in agriculture. The place was known for its sheep breeding.

In 1945 Casimir was occupied by the Red Army and placed under Polish administration, which gave the place the name Kazimierz . The German residents were expelled after the Second World War, so that in contrast to other places in the municipality of Oberglogau there are hardly any members of the German minority living in the village . Therefore, the bilingual place names introduced on December 1, 2009 in the municipality do not apply to Kazimierz. After the Second World War, Polish displaced persons from the village of Głęboczek (today Hlybochow near Borschtschiw ) were settled in the village .
