Widzew Castle in Ksawerów

Ksawerów ( German Xaverow ) is a village and seat of the municipality of the same name in the powiat Pabianicki of the Łódź Voivodeship , Poland .

history

As part of the systematic settlement of German craftsmen in Congress Poland , both on the part of the local nobility and on the part of the state, the construction of the Ksawerów colony began in 1824. A fine spinning colony was planned to deliver the yarn for the weavers , whose settlement in Pabianice and Łódź was being prepared at the same time. The flax needed should be grown in the neighboring villages. At first 51 settler sites, each with 5 acres of land, were measured, one of which was intended for the teacher or the school. The settlers for the colony were recruited in the Bohemian Leipa area , with the first three families arriving in October 1824. When all positions were filled in May 1826, the settlement was expanded by another 50 building sites, which in turn were occupied by 1828. In the construction of Ksawerów, a state colony founded in 1804 called Dąbrowa with eight places of 4 acres each was included in the same.

As early as the 1830s, shortly after the November uprising of 1830/1831, the residents switched from fine spinning to contract weaving, as the industrialization that was now beginning here also robbed them of their work.

In 1835, contrary to the information from the founding time of the place, the number of settler positions is given as 86 in a directory, all of which were occupied. The population was 447 people (86 settlers with 361 dependents). At that time Ksawerów belonged to the Pabianice manor.

At the end of the 19th century, Ksawerów consisted of 110 houses and belonged to the then Gmina Widzew .

Wanted to build in 1917, when the German inhabitants, a new German school, it came to conflict over an allegedly belonging to the village land parcel that the basic rule should have acquired illegally.

From 1939 to 1945 Ksawerów belonged to the Lask district in the Reichsgau Wartheland .

Historical description of the place

Oskar Kossmann describes Ksawerów as follows: “Now a few words about Ksawerow local knowledge. First you have to know that Ksawerow forms a long rectangle that is also cut in half lengthways and crossways. One long side is called the 'Chocianowitzer', the other the 'Rudner'. The northern part of this Rudner is called the 'back corner', which, out of incomprehensible consideration, was not wanted to tell me right away. By the way, at the corner there you also live on the 'Reibselecke', which is said to be related to the old Geyer's sugar beet factory in Ruda , where the beets or 'Reibsel' adjoined and were easy to 'use'. According to the weaver's language, they were sometimes 'slaughtered'. One area is called 'bei Nitschke', even if there is no longer a Nitschke, another is Teklin. The cross street in the middle is the 'Toppelreige' because it is built on both sides, i.e. in two rows. The chapel, school and guild house are on this street. The end towards Lodz is on the 'korzen Gränd', which corresponds to the 'short skręt' in the Central German sound form. "
