geography
Potoczek is located in the south of the Glatzer Kessel on the southern slope of the Glatzer Snow Mountains , close to the border with the Czech Republic. To the east on a flat ridge between the mountains Trójmorski Wierch ( Klappersteine ) and Jasień ( Eschenberg ) lies the watershed point of three seas. It is the headwaters of the Glatzer Neisse , which flows into the Oder and with it into the Baltic Sea, the Silent Eagle , which reaches the North Sea via the Elbe , and the Upper Mohrau Water, which flows over the March and Danube into the Black Sea. West of Potoczek is the 795 m high Glaserberg ( Urwista ), northwest of the 696 m high Wendlerberg ( Patnik )
Neighboring towns are: Jodłów in the north, Pisary in the south-west, Dolnik in the west and Szklarnia in the north-west. Beyond the border are the Moravian villages Dolní and Horní Morava , as well as Horní Lipka and Heřmanice .
history
Neißbach was created in 1564 by the brothers David and Michael von Tschirnhaus, the landlords of the Mittelwalde rulership , and initially referred to as "Neißendorf". Around 1601 the name was changed to "Neißbach". It belonged to the Habelschwerdter district in the Glatzer Land , with which it shared the history of its political and ecclesiastical affiliation. It belonged to the parish church in Thanndorf and was subject to the Mittelwalde rule until 1610. After Mittelwalde was divided among the sons of David von Tschirnhaus that year, the eldest son Friedrich received the villages of Schönfeld, Hain , Neundorf , Lauterbach , Gläsendorf , Thanndorf and Neißbach, which from then on formed the Schönfeld dominion . Even beforehand, the properties were transferred from fiefdom to inheritance.
In 1648 the rule of Schönfeld came to Michael Ferdinand von Althann , who already owned the rule of Mittelwalde and Wölfelsdorf . He built with imperial permission from the dominions Schonfeld, Mittelwalde and Woelfel village a primogeniture , which remained until 1945 owned by the family of Althann.
After the Silesian Wars , Neißbach and the County of Glatz came to Prussia in 1763 with the Peace of Hubertusburg . After Michael Otto von Althann († 1797) created the Neu neissbach colony from 1775 , the name Alt neissbach became naturalized for Neißbach . In 1781 a downpour caused great damage, in which seven residents of a house swept away by the flood drowned; their bodies could only be recovered in Schreibendorf. Evidence for the beginning of the 19th century: a Erbschölzerei, a flour mill, a lime kiln, 17 farmers and 50 gardeners and cottagers . It formed its own village community and in 1802 had 313 inhabitants.
After the reorganization of Prussia, Neißbach belonged to the province of Silesia from 1815 and was initially incorporated into the district of Glatz. In 1818 it was reclassified to the Habelschwerdt district , to which it belonged until 1945. In addition to agriculture, the population mainly subsisted on home weaving. From the middle of the 19th century, Neißbach developed into a place for excursions and relaxation. From 1874 (Old) Neißbach was, together with the villages Gläsendorf, Grove, Lauterbach, Michael Thal, Neundorf, New Neißbach, Schoenfeld and Thandorf for District Lauterbach. In 1939 there were 411 inhabitants.
As a result of the Second World War , Neissbach fell to Poland in 1945, like almost all of Silesia, and was renamed Potoczek . The German population was expelled. Some of the new residents were displaced from eastern Poland . Since many of the residents left Potoczek again in the post-war years, the number of inhabitants decreased significantly and most of the houses fell into disrepair. From 1975 to 1998 Potoczek belonged to the Wałbrzych Voivodeship ( Waldenburg ).
Neuneißbach colony
From 1775 a colony was established between (old) Neißbach and Thanndorf, which was called Neuneißbach and was also dedicated to the parish church in Thanndorf. It contained a Erbschölzerei, which consisted of the former manorial Vorwerk building and 53 other houses with arable land. In 1802 Neuneißbach formed its own village community in which 229 people lived.
