history

Fellhammer was founded in 1511 by the manor on Fürstenstein in connection with the expansion of the ore mines of Gottesberg . It was probably built on the site of the submerged village "Anewaldisdorf", which was founded around 1250 and was later also called "Wustendorf". In the Thirty Years War it fell into desolation and was rebuilt afterwards. After the First Silesian War in 1742 Fellhammer fell together with Silesia to Prussia . In the same year a Protestant school was opened and the first school building was built in 1774/75. After the reorganization of Prussia, Fellhammer belonged to the province of Silesia from 1815 and from 1816 was incorporated into the Waldenburg district, with which it remained connected until 1945. It formed its own rural community and since 1874 it belonged to the "Alt Lässig district". In 1876 the “Fellhammer District” was formed, to which the rural communities Neuhohendorf, Neu Lässig and Ober Hermsdorf also belonged. Until the industrial development through the development of coal in the middle of the 19th century, the residents were mainly active as hand weavers and forest workers. In 1860 the Mayrau shaft was put into operation and in 1867 Fellhammer was connected to the Silesian Mountain Railway . With the commissioning of the rail connection to Halbstadt in Bohemia , the station in Fellhammer was a railway junction from 1878. From 1887 the district "Hinter-Fellhammer" was built. In 1928, Neulässig was incorporated with Neuhohendorf, which was referred to as the “Fellhammer-West” district. In 1930 the Mayrau shaft was shut down. In 1939 Fellhammer had a population of 5,866.

As a result of the Second World War Fellhammer fell to Poland in 1945, like almost all of Silesia, and was renamed Kuźnice Świdnickie . The German population was expelled. Some of the new residents were displaced from eastern Poland . In 1954, Kuźnice Świdnickie was elevated to the status of an urban settlement. In 1973 it was merged with the city of Boguszów-Gorce . As its district, Kuźnice Świdnickie has shared its further history and development since then.

The valley station is at 590 m above sea level, the mountain station is at 812.3 m above sea level. It climbs 221.3 meters. The travel time is 5 minutes and 40 seconds. The chair lift is in operation all year round and is used as a ski lift in winter. Snow cannons for preparing the ski slopes have been in operation since 2011. A reservoir (volume 300,000 cubic meters) was created on the Rauschenbach to operate the snow cannons. A lookout tower on the Wildberg and a hotel with catering at the valley station are also planned.
