history

Traces point to a Slavic castle complex over the Wittig valley that existed from the 9th to the 11th century. During excavations on the castle hill, a cistern carved into the rock was found.

The place was first mentioned in 1346, when the church of Nieda was subordinate to the dean of Görlitz with the status of a parish church . The estate was originally connected to Radmeritz . In 1515 King Vladislav II Jagiello granted Nicholas the Elder. J. von Donin, as the last male representative of the Grafenstein and Hirschfelde line, sold the Radmeritz and Nida estates to the Görlitz patrician Bernhard Berndt. His son-in-law Martin Lochmann inherited it in 1550. After Lochmann's death, both goods were sold to Valentin von Gersdorff in Hennersdorf. At the beginning of the 17th century, Hans von Penzig also acquired Gut Nieda on Wilka. Nieda was a school location from the 18th century and until 1856 also a court location for Reutnitz.

As a result of the Vienna Treaty of 1815, the Wittig became the border river between Saxony and Prussia. With that, Nieda was divided. The greater part of the village, which lay on the right bank of the river, became Prussian and remained at Radmeritz. The portion on the left side of the Wittig, consisting of five properties, remained with Saxony. This resulted in two villages, Preußisch Nieda and Sächsisch Nieda . The children from Reutnitz in Saxony continued to be taught in the school in what is now Prussian Nieda . Saxon Nieda became part of the Saxon municipality of Reutnitz in 1856, while Preußisch Nieda belonged to the municipality of Radmeritz. Between 1910 and 1922, the Nietzsche mill on the Wittig was expanded into an electricity works for the surrounding communities. On January 20, 1937 the place was renamed Wolfsberg. In 1939 it had 84 inhabitants. After the end of the Second World War, Niedów became part of Poland and both parts of the village were reunited. With the construction of the dam between 1960 and 1964, most of the village, including the entire former Saxon part and the power station, was abandoned and flooded. Since the 1980s, Niedów became a resort. In 2009, 16 people lived in Niedów on 90.14 hectares of land. During the August floods in 2010, the floods tore away the dam of the dam.
