Kunice ( German Kunitz , formerly Cunitz ) is a village in the Polish Lebus Voivodeship . It belongs to the rural community Słubice (Schwetig) . The district of Kunitz-Loose, located west of the Oder and formerly part of Kunitz, remained with Germany in 1945 and is now part of the municipality of Wiesenau .
Geographical location
The village is located in the Mark Brandenburg on the slope of a hill on the right bank of the Oder , about eleven kilometers southeast of the former Frankfurt district of Dammvorstadt .
history
The first written mention of a settlement on the site of today's Kunice was the freebrif of Duke Leszek of Krakow on May 12, 1282. Herrmann v. Lossow sold the place to the city of Frankfurt (Oder) in 1373 . 1436 confirmed Otto v. Lossow of the city that Kunitz was passed on by his grandfather Hermann v. Lossow by lawful purchase.
Since the city of Frankfurt on the right bank of the Oder also owned the four neighboring villages of Schwetig , Kunersdorf , Reipzig and Trettin and the five villages together had the property of a manor , the Frankfurt city council was entitled to a seat of knighthood in the state parliament.
In October 1477 an army under Hans von Sagan and Crossen plundered and pillaged the village.
In 1651 there was a school in town. During the Seven Years' War rode on 18./19. In September 1759 about 200 Russian Cossacks entered the village and demanded food from the residents. In 1785 there was a fiefdom, a jug, a blacksmith, 13 farmers, nine large ossets , eleven small ossets , 20 householders, two shepherds, a forester and a schoolmaster. The farmers were employed in the Reipzig Vorwerk . In 1797 115 horses, 93 oxen, 168 cows, 232 pigs and 381 sheep were counted in Kunitz. On December 16, 1806, 400 French soldiers were billeted in Kunitz, who took 20 horses from the village with them on their departure the next day. As a result of the war, the situation in the village had worsened, which can also be seen in the number of cattle, which had fallen sharply compared to 1797. In 1819 the place had 61 houses, 62 farm buildings and a mill; there were 66 horses, 75 oxen, 115 cows and 107 pigs in Kunitz.
In 1854 a flood caused damage of 14,559 thalers. In 1873 the place became part of the newly formed Weststernberg district . In the district elections of November 30, 1925, 121 voted for the SPD, 75 for the KPD, 17 for the Central Block, 139 for the Brandenburg home list and six for the NSDAP. On May 2, 1931, the municipal council decided to set the local spelling to Kunitz , previously Cunitz was also common. A newly built school was inaugurated on October 12, 1930.
In the Reichstag election of November 1932 , 91 voted for the SPD, 189 for the KPD, 12 for the DNVP and 163 for the NSDAP.
Kunitz belonged to the district of Weststernberg , administrative district of Frankfurt , in the Prussian province of Brandenburg of the German Empire .
At the end of the Second World War , on February 1, 1945, almost the entire population of Kunitz fled over the frozen Oder in the direction of Frankfurt. On 2/3 February the village was occupied by the Red Army , either the 69th or the 33rd Army. After the war, Kunitz was placed under Polish administration together with other German areas east of the Oder-Neisse line . The migration of Polish civilians began. Remaining or returned locals were forced from their homes and in the aftermath of Kunitz sold . The German village of Kunitz was renamed Kunice .
