Talkenstein castle ruins

Rząsiny [ ʒɔ̃ˈɕinɨ ] (German Welkersdorf) is a village in the powiat Lwówecki in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship in Poland . The place is located about 30 kilometers southeast of Görlitz and eleven kilometers southwest of the district town of Lwówek Śląski (Löwenberg) and belongs to the urban and rural community of Gryfów Śląski ( Greiffenberg ).

history

The first place name was "Wolfkersdorf", which is documented for 1305. It belonged to the Duchy of Schweidnitz-Jauer , which after the death of Duke Bolko II of Schweidnitz was inherited by the Crown of Bohemia . Talkenstein Castle, northeast of Welkersdorf, was first mentioned in 1367. At that time, Reintsch and Nickel von Talkenberg acquired real estate in Welkersdorf. Around 1430 the castle was a robber baron's nest . Therefore, the Bohemian rival king Matthias Corvinus had the castle conquered and demolished in 1479 and left Welkersdorf and Talkenstein Castle to the city of Löwenberg. Eleven years later, the Bohemian King Wladislaus II returned both to Christoph von Talkenberg, lord of Děvín near Gabel in Bohemia. He initiated the construction of the Welkersdorf Palace. Around 1600 the Welkersdorf rule was owned by the Hochberg family . After the First Silesian War in 1742, Welkersdorf and most of Silesia fell to Prussia . In 1816 it was incorporated into the Löwenberg district, with which it remained connected until 1945. After 1815 the rule Welkersdorf belonged temporarily to the Russian general Hans Karl von Diebitsch-Sabalkanski . In 1874 the district of Welkersdorf was formed, to which the rural communities Friedrichshöh, Klein Neundorf and Welkersdorf as well as the manor districts of Klein Neundorf, Welkersdorf belonged.

As a result of the Second World War, Welkersdorf and most of Silesia fell to Poland in 1945. It was first renamed Wilcza Góra and in 1947 Rząsiny . The German population was expelled unless they had already fled . Some of the newly settled residents came from eastern Poland , which had fallen to the Soviet Union. 1945–1954 formed Rząsiny a rural community . 1975-1998 it belonged to the Jelenia Góra Voivodeship .

The primary school in Rząsiny has been named after the Sorbian Catholic priest and martyr Alois Andritzki since 2005 . To celebrate the naming ceremony, the residents met with former Welkersdorfers at the Talkenstein castle ruins and a joint German-Polish church service took place in the village.
