history
Nesselwitz was first mentioned in a document from 1285. A St. Sebastian Chapel has stood in the village since 1740, which was replaced by the newly built St. Sebastian Church on May 26, 1911 . In 1847 a Catholic school was established, but it only had one class. The children had previously attended school in Juliusburg . In 1903 the school was expanded and in 1936 a new, larger school was built. With the opening of the Kandrzin – Deutsch Rasselwitz railway on December 1, 1876 (length 33.6 km, with a further connection in the direction of Neisse ), Nesselwitz received a railway connection. From 1914 to 1920 the road from Cosel through Wiegschütz – Nesselwitz – Twardawa to Oberglogau (Reichsstraße 115) was built. In 1920 the local electricity cooperative began planning the electrical energy supply. On December 17, 1927, Nesselwitz was connected to the power grid.
In the referendum in Upper Silesia on March 20, 1921, 596 votes were cast in Nesselwitz out of 610 eligible voters. Of these, 532 (89.2%) voted to remain in Germany and 64 (10.7%) to join Poland. There were no abstentions. As a result, the village remained in the Weimar Republic . In 1922 the volunteer fire brigade was founded and in 1958 a fire station was built on the site where the wooden chapel used to stand. In 1930 the Silesian settlement company bought the buttermilk farm in Nesselwitz and set up 13 settler sites, which twelve families from Westphalia moved into. In 1943, a work detachment of British prisoners of war from the Lamsdorf POW camp (Stalag VIII B) was housed in Nesselwitz . After the Red Army had crossed the Oder near Cosel , Nesselwitz was secured by parts of the 344th Infantry Division. In Nesselwitz division-owned assault guns of Captain Lederer and parts of the artillery regiment had taken up positions. Colonel Kiewitt was the commander of this regiment. On March 18, 1945 at 2:00 a.m. Nesselwitz was captured by the Red Army.
After the Second World War , Nesselwitz was placed under Polish administration as Pokrzywnica and, after the signing of the German-Polish border treaty, has also been part of Poland under international law since January 16, 1992. By 1949, the inhabitants who had not fled were Polonized . Residents who disagreed were evicted. Since not all residents had fled or were expelled, a German minority was able to survive. In autumn 1945, 19 families from eastern Poland (approx. 150 people) were settled. Most of them came from Hanaczów. In January 1946 Nesselwitz became part of the rural community of Wiegschütz. The LZS Pokrzywnica football club has existed since 1948. The first games were played on the grounds of the military training area until the new soccer field at the edge of the forest on the road to Twardawa was completed. On January 1, 1973, another administrative reform took place, as a result of which Nesselwitz was attached to the rural community of Reinschdorf , to which it still belongs to this day. In the first half of the 1980s, an episode of the television series "Blisko, coraz bliżej" was filmed in Nesselwitz.
