Raschowa ( Polish Raszowa [ raˈʃɔva ]) is a place in the bilingual Polish municipality Leschnitz (Leśnica) in the powiat Strzelecki of the Opole Voivodeship .
geography
Raschowa is located around 35 kilometers southeast of Opole and 4 kilometers south of Leschnitz in historical Upper Silesia . The northern part of the place with the church is actually the village of Rokitsch, which has merged into Raschowa.
history
The village was first mentioned in 1353 when it was sold by Rudolf Grzimicz. During this time the name Rassowa appears . In the register of princely villages from 1532 Raschowa was mentioned as Russowa . In the visitation protocols of the church authorities in 1679 and 1688, the villages of Raszowa and Rassowa were named. Later the official name Raschowa prevailed.
Until the secularization in 1810, Raschowa belonged to the monastery monastery Himmelwitz . In 1783 there was a Vorwerk in Raschowa . In 1830 Raschowa had 259 inhabitants who lived in 35 houses. Until 1818 the villages Raschowa and Rokitsch belonged to the district of Groß Strehlitz , later to the district of Cosel .
1927–1928 Raschowa was attached to the village of Rokitsch. Later the community was renamed Raschowa-Rokitsch . The oldest mention of the settlement Rokitsch comes from the document of Prince Wladislaus von Beuthen-Cosel from 1321, in which Piotr Strola de Rokycz is mentioned. In the tithe register of Nuncio Galhard from 1335, the church was mentioned as "ecclesia de Rokycz" . Today's baroque parish church of All Saints dates from the 15th and 16th centuries. Century, after the expansion in 1882 it was consecrated again. Later documents from 1445, 1455 and 1469 bear the names Rokycz and Rokycze . In contrast, the church reports from the end of the 17th century speak of “villa Rokicze” and “pago Rikitz ”. In 1830 the village had 40 houses. Even then there was a Catholic school. At that time there were three watermills in operation.
In the referendum in Upper Silesia on March 20, 1921, which was accompanied by conditions similar to civil war in the area , 343 people in Raschowa voted to remain with Germany and 138 for Poland - conversely, in Rokitsch a majority of 254 votes was for Poland and 153 for Germany. Raschowa and Rokitsch, like the entire Cosel constituency, remained with the German Empire.
From 1933, the new National Socialist rulers carried out large-scale renaming of place names of Slavic origin. In 1934 the place name Raschowa-Rokitsch was changed to Mittenbrück .
In 1945 the place fell to Poland as Raszowa . The place Rokitsch has risen up in Raschowa.
In 2006, Gmina Leschnitz , to which Raschowa belongs as a district, introduced German as an auxiliary language and in 2008 introduced bilingual place names.
