history

Schrotholzkirche St. Lorenz and St. Barbara
Holy Spirit Church

In 1228 the village of Lascouici was mentioned as the property of the Czarnowanz monastery . The place name means roughly place of grace .

In 1685 a scrap wood church was built in Laskowitz , originally as a branch church of Jellowa , from 1828 by Alt Budkowitz and finally since 1898 by Thule . In 1742 Laskowitz fell with most of Silesia to Prussia . Frederick the Great visited the place in 1783.

After the reorganization of the province of Silesia , the rural community of Laskowitz belonged to the district of Rosenberg OS in the administrative district of Opole from 1816 . In 1845 there was a Catholic church, a Catholic school, an outbuilding, an ironworks, a brickworks, a pitch hut and 84 other houses in the village. In the same year, 776 people lived in Laskowitz, of which 44 were Protestants and 15 were Jewish. From 1874 Laskowitz was incorporated into the district of Sausenberg, which was made up of the rural communities of Chudoba, Groß Lassowitz, Grunowitz, Klein Lassowitz, Laskowitz, Marienau, Sausenberg, Skorkau and Trzebitschin and the manor districts of Chudoba, Groß Lassowitz, Grunowitz, Laskowitz, Klein Lassowitz and Trzebitschin existed. On October 1, 1899, the village was connected to the Jellowa – Kreuzburg railway line .

In the referendum in Upper Silesia on March 20, 1921, 464 votes (79.0%) were cast in Laskowitz to remain with Germany, 123 votes were in favor of joining Poland. In the Laskowitz manor district there were 78 to 10 votes. As a result, the village remained in the Weimar Republic . In 1928 the Laskowitz manor district, which had been independent until then, was incorporated into the Laskowitz community. In the course of the National Socialist renaming of the place, the place name, which sounded too Slavic to the new rulers, was changed to Kiefernwalde in 1936 . On April 1, 1939, the communities of Marienfeld and Thule were incorporated and the district of Kiefernwalde was established.

In 1945 the formerly German town of Kiefernwalde came under Polish administration and was then attached to the Silesian Voivodeship and in Laskowice, Poland, in 1950 the town became part of the Opole Voivodeship . In 1984 construction began on the new Church of the Holy Spirit, which was completed ten years later. In 1999 the place came to the Opole Voivodeship and the re-established Powiat Kluczborski . On August 16, 2010, the place was also given the official German place name Laskowitz .

Rear view of the scrap wood church with cemetery

The Roman Catholic branch church of St. Lorenz and St. Barbara (Polish Kościół św. Wawrzyńca ) is a scrap wood church built in 1686 on a small hill. The church is east-facing and in the west has a front tower made of studs. The octagonal spire is clapboard like the church roof. The long house, the ridge of which is crowned by a baroque roof turret, is followed by the retracted choir with a lower roof. Inside, however, the ceiling of the nave is flat, while the choir, on the other hand, has a wooden vault formed into a barrel . The patron's box in the choir can be reached via an outside staircase. A walkway is attached to the south outer wall of the church.

The interior is dominated by the L-shaped gallery and the mannerist main altar from the 17th century with paintings of St. Barbara and St. Lorenz from the 19th century. There is also a 17th century pulpit. The natural mummy of a young nobleman lies in an oak coffin in a small crypt under the church floor. It is probably Brigitta Buchta von Buchtitz, who died in 1608, around whom numerous legends entwine and whose body is popularly referred to as the Laskowitz death .

In 2010, renovation work began on the church. Baroque paintings came to light in several places under the wall painting, which are now to be completely exposed. The church was originally completely decorated with wall paintings, which were whitewashed in white by royal decree in the 19th century. By then, there should have been a large representation of hell in the church.

In the tower hangs a bell cast by Jakob Götz in Breslau in 1606. It was cast for the previous building, as was a second bell that was melted down during World War I and a third bell that was re-cast by Sebastian Götz in Wroclaw in 1650 due to a crack. It came to the bell cemetery in Hamburg in 1942 , but was not melted down and came to Nürtingen after the Second World War . Their inscription shows that the previous church in Laskowitz already had the same patronage : Año 1650 This bell was cast for this church of St. Lorentz and Barbara in Laskowitz Avf order the church fathers Adam Kavrtz Adam Zigan Iacob Schlisch. And on the other side: Sebastian Götz Goss me.
