history

Niedersalzbrunn was probably created together with the villages around "Salzborn" in the first half of the 13th century. There is evidence of a church for the year 1318 and the place name “Nedir-Salczborn” for 1352. Together with the Duchy of Schweidnitz , it came to the Crown of Bohemia in 1392 . The Reformation was accepted in the 16th century , so that in 1524 the first Protestant clergyman was employed. In the same year the "Sorgau" to the east was built. After the Thirty Years' War , the church, which was used as a Protestant place of worship during the Reformation, was returned to the Catholics. In 1689 the district "Zips" was created.

Niedersalzbrunn around 1850

After the First Silesian War in 1742, Niedersalzbrunn fell together with Silesia to Prussia . In the same year a Protestant prayer house was built and a Protestant school opened. Large parts of Niedersalzbrunn were destroyed by fire in 1775 and the Catholic Church burned down in 1816. After the reorganization of Prussia, Niedersalzbrunn belonged to the province of Silesia from 1815 and from 1816 was incorporated into the Waldenburg district, with which it remained connected until 1945. In 1818 there were 398 inhabitants in Niedersalzbrunn and 413 in Sorgau. In 1840 there were 759 inhabitants in Niedersalzbrunn and 746 inhabitants in Sorgau. House weaving gained economic importance. In 1840 there were 63 handlooms in Niedersalzbrunn and 107 handlooms in Sorgau. In 1842, the greater part of Niedersalzbrunn again burned down. In 1845 a Protestant cemetery was laid out and in 1849 the Prause porcelain painting company was founded, which was expanded into a porcelain factory from 1893. In 1867 the Catholic Church was elevated to a parish church.

As early as 1853, with the Sorgau railway station, Niedersalzbrunn was connected to the Breslau – Świebodzice (Freiburg) –Sorgau railway . After the railway line was extended to the Bohemian Halbstadt in 1878 and electrified on June 1, 1914, the station developed into an important transfer station and goods transfer point. After the incorporation of Sorgau, the station was renamed “Nieder Salzbrunn” in 1921.

In 1874 the administrative district of Sorgau was formed from the rural communities of Alt Liebichau, Neu Liebichau, Nieder Salzbrunn and Sorgau , which in 1919 was renamed the "District of Nieder Salzbrunn". The importance of home weaving declined. In 1876 only 19 weavers were active in Niedersalzbrunn and 38 weavers in Sorgau. In 1881 the Hermann Ohme porcelain factory was founded. In 1898 Niedersalzbrunn was connected to the Waldenburger Kreisbahn at the Straßenbach stop . In 1921 the rural community of Sorgau was incorporated into Niedersalzbrunn. In 1939 a total of 4,172 inhabitants were counted.

As a result of the Second World War , in 1945, like almost all of Silesia, Niedersalzbrunn fell to Poland and was initially renamed Solice Dolne and later Szczawienko . Most of the German population was expelled, unless they had already fled. Some of the new residents were displaced from eastern Poland . After Konradów was initially an independent municipality again, it was incorporated into the town of Wałbrzych in 1950, with which it has shared its further history since then.
