Nowe Czaple (German Neu Tschöpeln , 1936–1945 Birkenstedt / Oberlausitz ; Sorbian Nowy Třeplin ) is a village in the Polish rural community Trzebiel in the district of Żary ( Lebus Voivodeship ).

geography

Nowe Czaple is located on the eastern foothills of the Muskau fold near the junction of Droga wojewódzka 350 from Droga krajowa 12 . To the north of the village is the eponymous place Stare Czaple (Alt Tschöpeln) , to the east is Czaple (Tschöpeln) .

Bronowice (Braunsdorf) is located directly northwest of the village . Together with the small village of Pustków ( Schadehof , the former Tschöpeln estate ), the two villages form a Schulzenamt .

From a historical point of view, Nowe Czaple is a Silesian village close to the border with Upper Lusatia .

history

Nowe Czaple, like Czaple, is a relatively young place. Around 1745 a wooden pillar was erected on the road from Muskau to Zibelle near the border between the rulership of Muskau and the Principality of Sagan , which soon bore the name of the prayer column . This name was transferred to a group of houses located there, from which the village of Neu Tschöpeln later emerged.

Due to the construction of the Sommerfeld – Muskau railway , which continued from Muskau to Weißwasser, the remaining wooden stump of the prayer pillar had to be moved in 1897. It should be implemented again in 1904.

Towards the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century, Tschöpeln developed into an industrial community thanks to clay, loam and lignite deposits, which should soon exceed Alt Tschöpeln and Tschöpeln in terms of population. The lignite from the Tschöpelner Werke was mainly converted into electricity, which enabled glass works to be operated in Weißwasser . In Tschöpeln itself there was a clay works for the production of bricks and a glassworks with two ovens.

Until the opening of their own school in 1905, the students were taught in the Protestant parish village of Groß Särchen , provided they were not guest students in Tschöpeln.

When the Sagan district was dissolved , its western part, including Neu Tschöpeln, came to the Rothenburg district in 1932 . In the course of the Germanization of place names of Slavic origin, the village was given the name Birkenstedt in 1936 . Two years later the neighboring town of Braunsdorf was incorporated into Birkenstedt. The population of the two places had grown from around 750 each to a combined total of over 1700 in 1939.

After the Second World War the village was on the Polish-administered side of the Oder-Neisse line as a result of Poland's shift to the west . Together with most of the other communities in the eastern part of the Rothenburg district, the community now called Nowe Czaple came to the powiat Żarski , which emerged from the Polish part of the Sorauer district . Nowe Czaple was added to the municipality of Niwica in 1946 and came to the municipality of Trzebiel in 1973 .

The stone with a German inscription that added to the prayer column was buried after the Second World War. Years after Poland joined the EU, students from the local primary school found the location of the stone as part of a history project and uncovered it again.
