Krobielowice [ krɔbʲɛlɔˈvʲiʦɛ ] (German Krieblowitz , 1937–45 Blüchersruh ) is a village in the municipality of Kąty Wrocławskie (Kanth) in the powiat Wrocławski in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship in Poland . It is located on the Schwarzwasser, a tributary of the Bystrzyca (Schweidnitzer Weistritz) .
history
The village appears as a knightly possession as early as 1321, and in 1349 a fixed tower (residential tower) is mentioned. Between 1417 and 1810 it was the property of the St Vincent monastery in Breslau . In 1814, after the secularization of the monasteries, the Prussian state gave Krieblowitz and a further eleven goods to Field Marshal Blücher , who moved into the baroque palace built around 1570 and spent his last years here. He died in 1819 and was first buried in the Catholic church in the neighboring village of Woigwitz (1937–45 Albrechtsau , today Polish Wojtkowice ) and in 1820 transferred to the newly built family crypt outside the village of Krieblowitz. They wanted to create their own grave for him and cover it with a 600 t granite block from the mountain Zobten , but it was technically impossible to transport it. Finally, the block was cut into square parts, from which, at the instigation of King Friedrich Wilhelm IV., A high round tower was built next to the family crypt in the years 1846-1853, which housed Blucher’s coffin. The tower was damaged by Soviet soldiers on February 25, 1945 and other acts of vandalism after the war, and Blucher’s coffin was removed. The family crypt next to the tower is empty.
In 1996 the area of the mausoleum was put in order as a joint effort by the German Armed Forces and the Polish Army, but has since been damaged again.
