history

Langenbrück was laid out in 1596 on imperial forest land and belonged to the County of Glatz . It initially consisted of twelve houses and was owned by the royal chamber . In 1684 Langenbrück, together with other chamber villages in the Habelschwerdt district, sold this to Michael Wenzel von Althann , governor of Glatz , who formed the lordship of Schnallenstein from the newly acquired villages , whose main town was Rosenthal , so that it was also known as the "lordship of Rosenthal". Around the middle of the 18th century, the then owner of the Schnallenstein lordship, Aloysia Countess von Althann , ordered the construction of further houses. They were at the lower end of Langenbrück and were called the Aloysienthal colony . Later, the name Niederlangenbrück became established , which with (Ober) Langenbrück formed a village community and was also subject to the rule of Schnallenstein.

After the Silesian Wars , Langenbrück and the County of Glatz came to Prussia in 1763 with the Peace of Hubertusburg . After the reorganization of Prussia, it belonged to the province of Silesia from 1815 and was initially incorporated into the district of Glatz. In 1818 it was reclassified to the Habelschwerdt district . Evidence for the beginning of the 19th century: a parish church, a parsonage, a school building, a flour and a board mill, 15 piece people, 37 colonists and nine cottagers. There were two blacksmiths among the 440 inhabitants at that time. In the 19th century, Langenbrück developed into a popular summer and winter sports resort. In 1874 the district of Langenbrück was formed, to which the localities Friedrichsgrund, Kaiserswalde, Langenbrück and Stuhlseiffen belonged. In 1939 there were 507 inhabitants.

As a result of the Second World War , Langenbrück fell to Poland in 1945, like almost all of Silesia, and was renamed Mostowice . The German population was expelled. Some of the new residents were displaced from eastern Poland . However, because of its remote location, Mostowice left many residents in the next few decades, so that it is now largely depopulated. 1975-1998 Mostowice belonged to the Wałbrzych Voivodeship .

Church affiliation

Langenbrück was initially dedicated to the branch church in Kronstadt located in Bohemia , which in turn was a branch of the parish church in Himmlisch Rybnai until 1700 and then became an independent parish. However, Langenbrück had its own burial place. After the re-possession of the County of Glatz by the imperial troops in 1623, the then Lutheran residents returned to the Catholic faith. From this point in time until 1780 the dead were buried in the Kronstadt cemetery. After the county of Glatz fell to Prussia in 1763 , the parish boundaries were also adjusted to the political borders in 1780 on the instructions of the Prussian King Friedrich II . Together with the localities of Friedrichsgrund , Kaiserswalde and Königswalde , Langenbrück was separated from the Kronstadt parish church and a parish church was built in Langenbrück for these villages in 1781–1782. The financing came from contributions from the four dominions and one state collective . The inauguration by the dean Carl Winter, who officiated as pastor in Mittelwalde, took place on December 15, 1782. The first pastor of the newly established parish of Langenbruck was Joseph Beschorner from Mittelwalde. The regulation of the parish boundaries also resulted in a change of diocesan membership: While the four villages belonged to the diocese of Königgrätz until 1780 because they belonged to Kronstadt , with the establishment of the parish of Langenbrück they came to the Glatzer deanery and thus to the archbishopric of Prague . Today Mostowice is part of the parish of St. Francis and Leonhardus in Duszniki-Zdrój ( Bad Reinerz ) and thus belongs to the diocese of Świdnica .
