Poremba ( Polish Poręba ) is a place in the bilingual Polish municipality of Leschnitz in the powiat Strzelecki of the Opole Voivodeship .

geography

Poremba is located around thirty kilometers southeast of Opole and three kilometers north of Leschnitz in historical Upper Silesia .

Poremba is an unusual forest hoof village for the Opol region . It's in a long, narrow valley. From here a very interesting Kalvarienweg leads to St. Annaberg , which is lined with many chapels and considerable trees. In the center of Poremba there is a Church of the Assumption and a nursing home named after Edmund Bojanowski . Near the way to Leschnitz there is a Vaucuser spring, which pilgrims appreciate as a resting place and which never freezes over and is called "Siebenquellen". The water that rises here supplies the Padole brook (Padól), which flows through Leschnitz and has supplied the place with water for centuries.

history

Church in Poremba

The name of the village Poremba means "a place in the forest where trees are felled" . Poremba was mentioned as Poramba as early as 1485 . In the 15th and 16th centuries this village belonged to the famous Strela knight family , donors of the first church on St. Annaberg . It should be emphasized that the area of ​​the mountain was also part of the Poremba estates for a long time. In 1637 Melchior Ferdinand von Gaschin bought the village of Poremba. In 1720 the village had 97 inhabitants, in 1861 325, 1910 342 and 1996 271 people.

In the referendum in Upper Silesia on March 20, 1921, which was accompanied by conditions similar to civil war in the area , 149 people in Poremba voted to remain with Germany and 129 for Poland. Like the entire district of Groß Strehlitz, Poremba remained with the German Empire.

From 1933, the new National Socialist rulers carried out large-scale renaming of place names of Slavic origin. In 1936 the place name Poremba was changed to Mariengrund .

In 1945 the place fell to Poland as Poręba .

In 2006 the municipality of Leschnitz , to which Poremba belongs as a district, introduced German as an auxiliary language and, in 2008, bilingual place names.
