Radomierzyce (German Radmeritz ) is a village with 316 inhabitants in the eastern part of Upper Lusatia in the southwest of the Republic of Poland . It belongs to the municipality of Zgorzelec of the Powiat Zgorzelecki in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship .

geography

Radomierzyce is about ten kilometers south of Zgorzelec and about ten kilometers southeast of Görlitz . A bridge over the Lusatian Neisse , the border river to the Federal Republic of Germany , has been connecting the village with the town of Görlitz, Hagenwerder, since 2003 .

In Radomierzyce the Wittig (Polish Witka) flows into the Lusatian Neisse . After the division of Upper Lusatia at the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the Wittig formed the border between the western part of Upper Lusatia that remained with the Kingdom of Saxony and the eastern part that became the Kingdom of Prussia . Since 1945 the village has belonged to Polish territory.

History and Buildings

While the majority of the building stock in the village dates from the 19th and early 20th centuries, Radomierzyce is still characterized by the buildings that were erected during the lifetime of Radmeritz landlord and Polish-Saxon chamberlain Joachim Sigismund von Ziegler und Klipphausen . On his behalf, the Free World Aristocracy Evangelical Fräuleinstift Joachimstein in the shape of a three-wing moated castle with garden house, cavalier house and gardens in the French style was built until 1728 according to plans by Saxon master builders . Previously, after a fire, von Ziegler and Klipphausen had completely rebuilt the church by 1713 and had the stables and the forestry master built. The core of the mill on the Wittig, which still exists today, goes back to Joachim Sigismund von Ziegler and Klipphausen.

The construction work came to a close with the crypt house for the nuns in the churchyard of Radomierzyce, which, along with the Kanitz-Kyaw crypt in Hainewalde, is considered to be the most splendid aristocratic crypt in Upper Lusatia. To the west of the crypt house of the nuns, the grave slab fragment of a Herr von Lossow who died in 1313 is embedded in the churchyard wall. Other grave slabs from the 16th and 17th centuries with life-size depictions of the noble deceased in half-relief are on the outside wall of the church. Joachim Sigismund von Ziegler and Klipphausen is buried in a separate tomb house he the choir apex left append the church. Radomierzyce thus has an extraordinary collection of testimonies of aristocratic sepulchral culture from the High Middle Ages to the Baroque period .
