history

Church of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary

Marienthal was 1570-1578 together with the neighboring towns of Freiwalde and Stuhlseiffen on royal property by Leonhard von Veldhammer (also Feldhammer , † 1583), the chief forest master of the County of Glatz , measured and created and was owned by the Bohemian Chamber . It was not until 1586 that a legal dispute, which had been going on for 40 years between Emperor Rudolf II in his capacity as King of Bohemia and Nikolaus von Bubna, was settled, which concerned the border in the Marienthal area between the Senftenberg rulership and the Glatz county. In 1579 the Church of the Visitation of Mary was built, which was initially a branch church of Böhmisch Petersdorf and in 1624 was added to the parish of Ebersdorf . After the establishment of the Rosenthal parish in 1665, it was rededicated there.

During the Thirty Years' War on February 25, 1647, the imperial general Ernesto Montecuccoli established his headquarters in Marienthal for his army, which was marching on Silesia . Together with other chamber villages in the Habelschwerdt district , Marienthal was acquired in 1684 by the governor of Glatz, Michael Wenzel von Althann , 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". The Marienthaler Freirichtergut remained independent. With the approval of the Prague Consistory , a new stone church was built on the site of the wooden church in 1713–1716. The judge Franz Beschorner donated the main altar.

After the Silesian Wars , Marienthal 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 , to which it belonged until 1945. At the end of the 19th century, Marienthal developed into a popular resort. Because of the favorable snow conditions, the first winter sports club in the Glatzer Land was founded here in 1908. In 1939 there were 404 inhabitants.

As a result of the Second World War , Marienthal fell to Poland in 1945, like almost all of Silesia, and was renamed Niemojów . The German population was expelled. Some of the new residents were displaced from eastern Poland . Because of the remote border location, however, they left Niemojów in the 1960s, which is now largely depopulated. 1975-1998 Niemojów belonged to the Wałbrzych Voivodeship .
