history

Małomice goes back to a Slavic settlement. After tools made of deer antler had already been found on the Bober in 1877, excavations in the 1930s showed a probable age between 1000 and 1200 based on vessel finds.

The first documentary mention of the village on the edge of the Mallmitz-Sprottauer Heide comes from 1329. The village lived from agriculture and the lawn iron grave . Around 1572 the Lords of Schoenaich Mallmitz granted limited city ​​rights . In 1496 a Marienkapelle was built, which was part of the church in Eisenberg. This chapel, which also served as the crypt of the von Kittlitz family , was rebuilt in the Baroque style in 1737 . In 1741 a Protestant church was built. A year later the Silesian village became part of Prussia and in 1816 became part of the Sprottau district .

More significant than the village was the extensive ancient manorial rule, which had extensive holdings in the duchies of Sagan and Glogau . Fabian von Schoenaich , one of the largest landowners in Lower Silesia and Lusatia, who ruled between 1400 and 1680, was bequeathed to the Counts of Redern by the Barons of Schoenaich . In 1740, in addition to Mallmitz, the Lords of Primkenau and Kotzenau were owned by the Counts of Redern. Mallmitz passed through succession in 1766 to the Burgraves of Dohna , who owned the estate until 1945. The seat of rule was an old moated castle, which was converted into a renaissance castle around 1690 .

The rule owned several iron hammers , which were located in Mallmitz, Eisenberg (Rudawica), Neuhammer am Queis , Nieder-Eulau (district Iława von Szprotawa ) and the "Old Hammer" between Mallmitz and Sprottau. The Mallmitzer lawn iron stone was delivered to a total of 17 hammer mills along the Tschirne and Queis rivers in 1700 . In 1801 the Marienhütte, which had emerged from Mallmitzer Hammer, was put into operation with a blast furnace and four fresh fires; the plant closed in 1933.

1875 Mallmitz received with branch path of Arnsdorf ( Miłkowice ) at Liegnitz to Sagan a railway terminal , which had a rapid industrial development result.

After the Second World War Mallmitz came to Poland and was named Małomice. The place had suffered severe war damage, later the ruins of the castle and the Protestant church were demolished. Małomice was elevated to a town-like settlement in 1958 and received town charter in 1969 .
