history

Ludwigsdorf belonged to the “District Neurode” in the Glatzer Land , with which it shared the history of its political and ecclesiastical affiliation. It was first mentioned in writing in 1352 as "Ludwigisdorf" when the Neuroder landlord Hanns von Wustehube together with Neurode and the villages of Hausdorf , Königswalde , Kunzendorf and Volpersdorf sold it to Hensel von Donyn ( Dohna ). In 1571 it was also known as Lößdorf and in 1747 as Losdorf . After the Silesian Wars it fell to Prussia together with the County of Glatz after the Peace of Hubertusburg in 1763 . After the reorganization of Prussia, from 1815 it belonged to the province of Silesia , which was divided into districts. The district of Glatz was responsible from 1816–1853, and the district of Neurode from 1854–1932 . After its dissolution in 1933, it again belonged to the Glatz district until 1945. From 1874 Ludwigsdorf formed the district of the same name , which consisted of the rural communities Ludwigsdorf and Mölke and the manor districts of Altmölke and Ludwigsdorf.

Mining accident in the Wenceslaus pit , July 1930

In addition to the textile industry, the Wenceslaus pit in the Mölke district was of economic importance . Hard coal has been mined here since 1771 and up to 4,600 workers were employed during the management of the mining entrepreneur Adrian Gaertner . Due to economic difficulties and the danger of carbon dioxide , it was temporarily shut down in 1931 and permanently in 1939. Since 1880 Ludwigsdorf had a rail connection on the Waldenburg – Glatz railway line . In 1939 there were 3524 inhabitants. During the Second World War , a satellite camp of the Groß-Rosen concentration camp was set up in Ludwigsdorf , in which up to 2,000 forced laborers of various nationalities were imprisoned, most of whom were employed in a munitions factory in Mölke. In 1941 the mine was handed over to the Wehrmacht. However, there is no reliable information about the use of the mine until 1945. Historians suspect a connection with the secret " Project Riese ".

As a result of the Second World War, Ludwigsdorf fell to Poland in 1945, like almost all of Silesia , and was renamed Ludwikowice Kłodzkie . The German population was largely expelled in 1946/47. Some of the new residents were displaced from eastern Poland . 1945–1954 Ludwikowice Kłodzkie was the seat of an independent municipality. 1975-1998 it belonged to the Wałbrzych Voivodeship (German Waldenburg ).
