geography
Salesche is located around 35 kilometers south-east of Opole and 6 km south-east of Leschnitz in historic Upper Silesia . Salesche is a north-south street village over 2 kilometers long.
history
Salesche is on the way from Leschnitz to Sławięcice . The village was first mentioned in a document in 1223 as Zalese , a settlement "behind the forest". The monastery in Czarnowanz was granted the right to collect tithe from Salesche. In 1223 there was a scrap wood church in Salesche . Later a brick church was built, the Gothic choir (around 1400) has been preserved to this day.
The place name has been spelled in different ways in the documents over the centuries. In 1376 Zalesie Sląskie is mentioned as Zales , 1418 as Zalis , 1534 as Sales , 1571 as Zalesny , 1581 as Zaless , 1757 as Zaleze , 1845 as Salesche (Polish Zalesie ).
The people of Salesche lived from agriculture, growing vegetables and small crafts. Almost until the end of the 19th century there was a small trade route to Groß Strehlitz here . In 1768 riots broke out here because of ongoing disputes over raising the tithe . Salesche had its own school as early as 1783. Since 1934 there has been a train station on the Groß Strehlitz– Kandrzin line in Salesche . Interesting from an archaeological point of view is the discovery of a significant amount of silver coins in a clay vessel. The more than 7,000 whole coins and some cut or broken coins most likely date from 1278.
In the referendum in Upper Silesia on March 20, 1921, which was accompanied by conditions similar to civil war in the area , a total of 367 people in the village and Gut Salesche voted to stay with Germany and 606 for Poland. Salesche remained with the German Empire like the entire district of Groß Strehlitz.
From 1933, the new National Socialist rulers carried out large-scale renaming of place names of Slavic origin. In 1935 the place name Salesche was changed to Groß Walden .
In 1945 the place fell to Poland as Zalesie Śląskie .
In 2006, Gmina Leschnitz , to which Salesche belongs as a district, introduced German as an auxiliary language and in 2008 bilingual place names.
