Pągów (Wilków)
Pangau was a village and estate in Lower Silesia .
history
The village is mentioned in a document in 1203 as Panglowo. It had two outbuildings, a brick factory, an inn, seven linen weavers, six other craftsmen and two shopkeepers.
Pangau had a total of 112 inhabitants in 1867. In the 1870s there were seven residential buildings, 28 households and 139 (manor 33) residents. In 1892 the estate comprised a total of 506 hectares of arable land, 29.21 hectares of meadows, 2.10 hectares of forest, 15.26 hectares of alluvial land and 1.50 hectares of water. The livestock in 1876 was 40 horses and 156 head of cattle (black and schlesian herd book cattle). There was also a steam distillery. At the beginning of World War II in 1939, Pangau had 440 inhabitants. After World War II, Pangau - including all of Silesia - was renamed Polish and Pągów. Since 1999 it has belonged to the Polish rural community of Wilków. The first identifiable owner of the Paugau estate was Heinrich Sylvius Friedrich Adolph von Randow , who was an officer in the artillery . He bought it in 1832, apparently at auction. In 1835 he had the old manor house , later the inspector's house, built there.
Since Randow had apparently taken over financially despite the "very cheap price" (his own words), he had to sell the property again in 1844 to the ducal chief bailiff August Scholtz. He owned it for 20 years. Then (1864) he sold Pangau - because he was broke - to the art historian Prof. Dr. August Beloch. However, he soon sold it to the Morgenstern publishing house from Breslau , who owned it for 25 years. Paul Scholtz bought it in 1889, from whom it passed to his son Erich Scholtz in 1909. It belonged to him until the Soviet occupation and later handover to Poland.
The mansion
The current mansion on Pangau (with a hipped roof) was built in 1874/75 by Professor Beloch. After the First World War (1918) Leopold Scholtz (Erich's brother) built a western extension. Leopold Scholtz also lived there for a short time. In 1937 the eastern extension and the gable roof followed. Its builder, Erich Scholtz-Methner, was married to Annelise Methner, whose name he added to his own. (Information on this paragraph from Renate Scholz-Methner, daughter of the last owner of Pangau.)
