history

Parish Church of St. Martin

Sezesco was first mentioned in a document in 1155 in the papal letter of protection for the diocese of Wroclaw . The place name Sychem has been handed down for the year 1213 . After the division of the Duchy of Silesia , Seitsch came to the Duchy of Glogau in 1251 . There is evidence of a pastor in Seitsch for the year 1289. 1309 gave Duke Heinrich III. the Seitsch estate to the Leubus monastery , since that year there was probably a school in the village. Henry III. Son, Duke Johann von Steinau, confirmed the ownership of Seitsch and the neighboring villages of Braunau, Weschkau and Seifersdorf to Leubus Monastery in 1326 and established a provost's office in Seitsch. In 1329, Duke Heinrich IV and his brothers voluntarily submitted their duchy as a fief to the Crown of Bohemia . The Bohemian King Charles IV implemented Seitsch under German law in 1349 and confirmed his ownership to the Leubus Monastery. In 1350 he freed it from all taxes on secular power.

After the First Silesian War in 1742, Seitsch and most of Silesia fell to Prussia . With the secularization of 1810, the 700-year rule of the Leubus Monastery in Seitsch ended. The majority of the population remained Catholic - in 1844 121 of the 841 inhabitants were Protestant. The vast land owned by the monastery was taken over by various new owners, Seitsch was dowry of Henriette d'Oultremont de Wégimont occasion of her marriage to the King of the Netherlands William I in 1816, the administrative structure in Prussia was reorganized, after which Seitsch in district Guhrau again found to whose largest communities it counted. From 1874 Seitsch formed the district of the same name , which consisted of the rural communities Langenau, Lanken, Seitsch and Tarpen. A war memorial was erected in 1927 for the more than 80 parishioners who died in the First World War .

Towards the end of the Second World War , some of the residents tried to flee in order to protect themselves from the war front approaching from the east. In the spring of 1945 the Red Army occupied the region. Soon after, Seitsch was placed under Polish administration and renamed Siciny . In 1945/46 the remaining German residents were expelled by the local Polish administrative authorities . Some of the Polish new settlers came from the areas east of the Curzon Line that had fallen to the Soviet Union as part of the “ West displacement of Poland ” .

In 1975 Siciny became part of the Leszno Voivodeship and in 1999 the Lower Silesian Voivodeship . Today Siciny is part of the rural community Niechlów, whose main town Niechlów ( Nechlow ) lagged behind the importance of Siciny until 1945. The seat of the parish is still Siciny.
