history

Schlegel was first mentioned in a document around 1330 as "Slegilisdorf". Other spellings were Slegelsdorf (1337), Schlegelsdorf (1396) and zum Slegil (1407). The first mention of the parish church, which belonged to the deanery of Glatz and thus to the diocese of Prague , comes from the year 1384. Together with the county of Glatz , which was a sub-country of the Bohemian Crown , it came after the First Silesian War in 1742 and finally after the Hubertusburger Peace to Prussia in 1763 . After the reorganization of Prussia, it belonged to the province of Silesia from 1815 , which was divided into districts. The district of Glatz was responsible from 1816–1853, and the district of Neurode from 1854–1932 . After its dissolution in 1933, Schlegel again belonged to the Glatz district until 1945. Since 1874 the rural community Schlegel formed the administrative district of the same name . Through the discovery of coal deposits and the increase in weaving mills, Schlegel developed into an industrially rich village over the centuries. In 1902 it was connected to the railway.

As a result of the Second World War , Schlegel fell to Poland in 1945 and was initially renamed "Szlagów" and in 1947 "Słupiec". The majority of the German population was expelled from 1945–1946, unless they had fled before. The newly settled residents were partly displaced from eastern Poland , which had fallen to the Soviet Union. Numerous German mining families were held back because they were needed as skilled workers in the coal mines. Most of them moved to the Federal Republic of Germany by way of family reunification in the late 1950s . In 1959 Słupiec became a town-like settlement, and in 1967 it became an independent town. In 1973 - with a population of 7700 at that time - it was incorporated into the city of Neurode. The city currently has about 12,000 inhabitants.

Manor

The Schlegel manor developed from several knights and judges' estates . The first known landowners were the Rachenauer, whose property passed to the von Czeschau family in 1474. Successors from 1494 were the lords of Pannwitz . In 1585 ownership changed to Absalon von Donig . His son Georg von Donig sold Schlegel to the Lords of Logau , who, however, lost it after the Battle of the White Mountains because of taking sides with the Protestant Bohemian rebels . The Logauz goods went to the imperial captain Karl Freiherr von Strasolde in 1628, who sold them to Angelo von Morgante a year later. The barons of Morgante built a castle in 1685, which the subsequent owners, the Counts of Pilati , expanded in the 19th century and which they owned until 1945. After the Second World War it was left to decay.

Coal mining

Coal mining has been known since 1641. The "Johann-Baptista-Grube" was founded before 1742. Refractory shale was also mined in the last quarter of the 19th century . In 1901 the pits in the area were combined to form the “Union for Neuroscale Coal and Clay Works”. After the discovery of new coal deposits, a further expansion of production began in 1962.

Basalt extraction

There is a gabbro basalt quarry north of the city . a. used for building roads.

Attractions

  • The Catholic parish church of St. Katharina ( Kościół Św. Katarzyny ) was built in 1885–1887 according to plans by the Protestant master builder Bernhard from Nimptsch from red sandstone from the Allerheiligenberg. The neo-Gothic interior was designed by the architect Joseph Elsner . The high altar, side altars, pulpit, communion bench and choir stalls were made in his Munich “Workshop for Church Art”. Outside, on the north-western buttress under the roof, a stone wolf's head is walled in, which is said to have been taken over from previous buildings. Since such representations were common in the 12th century, it is assumed that a stone church was already standing here at that time. - The Schlegel parish also included the colonies of Fohler, Kirchberg, Neusorge, Hinterberg, Wolfswinkel, Wiesental, Neuhinterberg, Theresienfeld, Goldgraben, Grube, Leppelt, Oberberg and Steinwiesen.
  • The branch church of Our Lady of Sorrows ( Kościół pw.MB Bolesnej ) on the 648 m high All Saints Hill ( Góra Wszystkich Świętych ) was built in 1680 by Johann Morgante, heir to Schlegel, as thanks for being spared the plague and expanded in 1750 and 1812. The frescoes were created in 1849 by Wilhelm Hauschild , the main altar painting "The body of Jesus on Mary's lap" was created by Aloys Richter. Both artists were born in Schlegel and were successful history painters in Munich. In 1903 the painter Oswald Völkel , who also came from Schlegel, renovated the frescoes, altar and Stations of the Cross together with his father. After the Second World War, the church was left to decay. After the political change in 1989, reconstruction took place in 1994–2000.
  • Wilhelm Hauschild painted the paintings for the 16 Stations of the Cross , which leads from Schlegel to the Allerheiligenberg, from 1868 to 1870.
  • The red sandstone observation tower on the Allerheiligenberg , crowned with an open gallery and a relief of Marshal Helmuth Karl Bernhard von Moltke above the entrance, was built in 1913 by the Glatzer Mountain Association and the von Moltke family .
