history

The foundation of the town is probably connected with a castle that was in existence by the 13th century at the latest. Königswalde is first mentioned in a document in 1322; the place name suggests that Königswalde was originally founded by Germans. In 1352 was Henslyn or Hans von Waldau , Reichserbmarschall Louis Roman , invested with the city and the castle of King forest; later numerous other goods were added in the Neumark. The town and its accessories were then, with a short interruption, in the possession of the Waldau family for five hundred years.

In the 16th century, Königswalde was given the right to hold fairs, but was not allowed to build fortifications. In 1612 the place was largely destroyed by fire. In 1647 surviving documents speak of the "Königswalder Council". Up until the end of the 17th century, Königswalde was mainly inhabited by Germans. With the influx of Protestant refugees from Poland and Silesia , the new town was built in 1708 at the gates of Königswalde. In 1788 Königswalde had its own school, and in 1808 Königswalde was granted city rights. Until the beginning of the 19th century, the city lived mainly from the cloth making trade . With the Prussian administrative reform of 1815 Königswalde into the circle Sternberg was, by its later division in the county Oststernberg in the administrative district of Frankfurt incorporated. The industry that developed in Germany in the 19th century gave rise to new businesses such as an alum factory and a silk weaving mill in Königswalde.

At the end of the 19th century a noticeable number of Poles settled in Königswalde and founded an active Catholic community. According to Meyers Lexikon, however, Königswalde still had 1,689 “mostly Protestant residents” in 1885. In 1912 the city was connected to the Landsberg - Zielenzig railway line. By 1939 the population had fallen to 1431, the districts of Bergkolonie, Bergvorwerk, Hohentannen and Zschenze belonged to Königswalde.

After the end of World War II , Königswalde was placed under Polish administration in 1945 . Polish migrants settled here, some of them from areas east of the Curzon Line , which Poland had conquered after the First World War . The German city was then renamed Lubniewice . The entire German population was then expelled by the local Polish administrative authority and replaced by Poles .
