history

The place name of Pogarell indicates the close relationship with the knights of Pogarell , who held the manorial rule over Pogarell and other places in the area. Very early on, Pogarell owned a church that was a subsidiary of Michelau . The place was first mentioned in a document in 1272 . It is a deed of donation over two Huben country in to a chaplain named Arnold by the widow of Count Predslaw Michelau. In 1315 the place was mentioned as Porella .

After the Reformation , the church became Protestant around 1535 and remained so until 1945.

Pogarell was part of the Duchy of Brieg and with this came under the rule of Bohemia in 1329 and only fell to Habsburg in 1675 with the extinction of the Brieger Piasts . After the First Silesian War in 1742, Pogarell and most of Silesia fell to Prussia .

After the reorganization of the province of Silesia , the rural community of Pogarell belonged to the district of Brieg in the administrative district of Breslau from 1818 . In 1845 there was a Protestant church, a Protestant school and another 112 houses in the village. In the same year 534 people lived in Pogarell, 18 of them Catholic. In 1874 the Alzenau district was founded, to which Pogerell was incorporated. In 1885 there were 405 people in Pogarell.

The street village of Pogarell grew together with the western town of Alzenau, but both formed independent communities. As a result of the Second World War, Pogarell fell under Polish administration in 1945, like most of Silesia . The place was subsequently renamed Pogorzela and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. In 1950 it was incorporated into the Opole Voivodeship. With the expulsion of most of the Germans and the Polish resettlement, the religious affiliation of the inhabitants changed, so that in 1957 the Protestant church became a Catholic parish church . Even if Pogorzela has always had more inhabitants, Olszanka is the seat of the rural community. In 1999, the place came to the newly founded Powiat Breszki ( Brieg district ).

Attractions

  • The former Evangelical Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus ( kościół pw Najświętszego Serca Jezusowego ) is a brick village church typical of the Brieger Land . It is documented for the first time in 1273 and was built in its current form including churchyard wall in the 14th and 15th centuries, the front tower around 1600. In the choir there are significant Gothic frescoes from the end of the 15th century, which is why the church is a stop on the 53 km long cultural route of the Brieger Polychromien ( Szlak Polichromii Brzeskich ). The castle has been a listed building since 1964.
