Geographical location
The village is located in Lower Silesia , north of the western edge of the Katzengebirge , ten kilometers west-northwest of Prusice ( Prausnitz ).
history
The rule of Gross-Peterwitz was mentioned in a document in 1447. Through further acquisitions by the landlord Sebastian von Nostitz , the goods were united in 1574. In 1616 they were sold to Leonhard Skopp von Heinzendorf, whose widow passed them on to her second husband, Hans von Studnitz, from whom she in turn inherited his daughter Anna Maria from her first marriage. Anna Maria von Studnitz died childless and left Gross-Peterwitz to her second husband Joachim Wilhelm von Maltzan in 1722 and, after his death in 1728, to his next wife, Countess Anna Sophie Christiane v. Erpach. Her third husband, Count Friedrich Kospoth , received the property in 1759 and bequeathed it to his second wife, a Countess Reichenbach, in 1782, from whom she was finally given to Minister Adolph Graf v. Danckelman bought. Gross-Peterwitz passed this on to his sons, grandchildren and great-grandchildren until 1848. His great-grandson, Eberhard Graf v. Danckelman, took care of the interior construction, such as stucco ceilings and magnificent vaults.
In 1945, United Peterwitz belonged to the district Trebnitz in district Breslau the Prussian province of Lower Silesia of the German Reich .
Towards the end of the Second World War , Groß Peterwitz was occupied by the Red Army in January 1945 . After the end of the war, the village and almost all of Silesia were placed under Polish administration by the Soviet occupying forces in the summer of 1945 , which introduced the place name Piotrkowice for Groß Peterwitz . As far as the German residents had not fled, most of them were expelled from Groß Peterwitz by the local Polish administrative authorities .
