history

The place was first mentioned before 1296 in documents from Duke Heinrich III of Glogau . The original name was probably Pelachow . The districtus Nowestatensis is mentioned as early as 1296 . The location on an old trade route from Crossen to Breslau favored the development of a market. After 1331 Neustädtel fell to the Crown of Bohemia together with part of the Duchy of Glogau . Until 1386 it was directly under the ducal care, later it passed into the possession of the knights from the Wirsing family. From 1649 it belonged to the Jesuit monastery in Wartenberg . After the dissolution of the Jesuit order in Prussia in 1773, the place became state property. In July 1804, the city was hit by a great flood, and between 1806 and 1808 over 60,000 soldiers marched through the city and its surroundings during the coalition wars.
The economic development of the 19th century in the form of the railroad passed the city by. Both during the construction of the Breslau – Berlin line around 1840 and that of the Breslau – Stettin line around 1855, the landowners demanded too high prices for their land, whereupon the route was planned differently. At the beginning of the 20th century Neustädtel had a Protestant church and a Catholic church.
Until 1945 Neustädtel belonged to the Lower Silesian district of Freystadt (today Kożuchów ) in the administrative district of Liegnitz of the Prussian province of Silesia .
The war operations of World War II did not affect the city. At the end of the war it was occupied by the Red Army and shortly afterwards placed under Polish administration by the Soviet occupying power . She was now given the literally translated name Nowe Miasteczko . The German residents were evicted by the local Polish administrative authority .
