Opawica (German Troplowitz , Schlonsakisch : Troplowice , Czech : Opavice ) is a village of the Polish urban and rural municipality Głubczyce in the Opole Voivodeship . Together with the place Opavice , from which Opawica is separated by the Polish-Czech border, it formerly formed the town of Troplowitz.
history
The first mention of the village of Oppawicz comes from the year 1256. The place in the Oppauer Land, which was then part of Moravia , came to Silesia with the creation of the Duchy of Oppawicz and belonged to the Duchy of Jägerndorf between 1377 and 1410 . The customs station on the Goldoppa , which has been verifiable since 1377 , led to the creation of a town south of the village around 1400 that enjoyed the privileges of a mountain town . His market rights were confirmed in 1410 by the Opava Duke Přemysl . In the same year Oppawicz came into the possession of the von Bladen together with the Geppersdorf estate.
With the founding of the city of Olbersdorf three kilometers northwest of Troplowitz in 1492, the city's development opportunities were severely restricted. The Reformation was introduced in the city around 1550 . With the transfer of rule to the von Haugwitz family during the Thirty Years War , the re-Catholicization took place .
In 1700 Geppersdorf and Troplowitz came to the Count Sedlnitzky von Choltitz .
The conquest of most of Silesia by Prussia in 1742 led to a border being drawn right through the town. Most of the city with the market square and parish church as well as part of the village became Prussian. The districts to the right of the Goldoppa remained with Austria.
As a result of this division, the town of Troplowitz, which had around 1,280 inhabitants and had the privilege of holding three annual markets , became insignificant, and the population moved from the now remote place on the border. Troplowitz lost its town charter in the 18th century. At the beginning of the 19th century the market town had sunk into a rural community. In the second third of the 19th century, damask weaving gave the community another slight upturn, but this did not last long. The towns of Städtel Troplowitz and Dorf Troplowitz were united in the 1930s.
The part of the village that remained with Austria was named as the village of Tropplowitz to distinguish it from the Prussian part .
Population development
In 1825 there were 483 residents in Troplowitz, 274 of them in the market town of Städtel Troplowitz and 209 in the village of Troplowitz.
