history
Urschkau was owned by the von Mutschelnitz (Mocydelnitz) family in the late 13th century . Over time, the owners of the place changed frequently; From the beginning of the 15th century, for example, the von Kanitz , von Maltzahn , von Dyhrn , von Froideville , von Rittberg , von Winterfeld families belonged to the owners .
Reformation currents gained a foothold in Urschkau several times. For example, the local church was used by the Reformation from 1560 and later by Calvinism ; The bishop of the Polish university, Martin Gerich, worked temporarily in Urschkau, who died there of the plague in 1657 ;; it is said that in 1746 the Moravian brothers temporarily settled in the village. It is unclear to what extent Huguenots found shelter in the village.
In 1765 Orsk was a village with 10 "German" farms, 31 homesteads and 22 huts. At the end of the 18th century the village was expanded by 12 houses (colonization). In the years 1830 to 1845, the influence of handicrafts on agriculture increased considerably. The place Urschkau, which belonged to the district of Steinau from around 1742 to 1932 , was a municipality in the district of Wohlau in the administrative district of Breslau in 1939 with 176 households and 567 inhabitants. From 1975 to 1998 the village was administratively part of the Legnica Voivodeship .
