Sokołówka (German Falkenhain ) is a district of the city of Polanica-Zdrój ( Bad Altheide ) in the powiat Kłodzki in southwest Poland.
geography
Sokołówka is located in the northern foothills of the Habelschwerdter Mountains on a side road that branches off from Wojewodschaftsstraße 388 at Nowy Wielisław and leads to Pokrzywno . Neighboring towns are Nowy Wielisław in the northeast, Starkówek in the southeast and Pokrzywno in the south. The 704 m high Steinberg ( Kamienna ) rises to the southwest .
history
Falkenhain was founded in 1584 by the imperial cupbearer Friedrich von Falkenhain , who already owned the neighboring Heyde and other villages in the Glatzer Land . It was dedicated to the parish Altwilmsdorf . After the Silesian Wars it fell to Prussia together with the County of Glatz in 1763 with the Peace of Hubertusburg . After the reorganization of Prussia, it belonged to the province of Silesia from 1815 and from 1816 was incorporated into the district of Glatz , with which it remained connected until 1945. Because of its proximity to Bad Altheide, Falkenhain developed into a resort from the end of the 19th century. The “Cooperative of St. Heart of Jesus and Mary ”built the“ Mission House Christ Rex ”in Falkenhaus in 1927, which served as a school for the next generation of the Order and is still owned by the Order today. In 1936 the Neu-Falkenhain colony was merged with Falkenhain to form one municipality. In 1939 there were 871 inhabitants.
As a result of the Second World War , Falkenhain fell to Poland in 1945, like almost all of Silesia, and was renamed Sokołówka . The German population was expelled. Some of the new residents were displaced from eastern Poland . Until 1974 Sokołówka belonged to the Wrocław Voivodeship and then until 1998 to the Wałbrzych Voivodeship (German: Waldenburg ). Due to the increase in population, two new parishes were established in Sokołówka in the 1990s: the upper part of the district belongs ecclesiastically to the parish “Christ the King” (at the mission house “Christ Rex”), the lower part to the parish “Matki Bożej Królowej” Pokoju "(Eng." Mother of God, Queen of Peace "), where a new parish church was built.
