history
Falkenberg was first mentioned in a document in 1578. It belonged to the County of Glatz , which was a sub-country of the Bohemian Crown . Together with her it fell to Prussia after the First Silesian War in 1742 and finally after the Peace of Hubertusburg in 1763 . In 1786 the branch church of St. Martin was built. After the reorganization of Prussia, Falkenberg 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, it again belonged to the Glatz district until 1945. Since 1874 Falkenberg formed the district of the same name , which consisted of the rural community and the Falkenberg manor district.
In addition to agriculture, the population initially lived mainly from home weaving. From the end of the 19th century, tourism gained economic importance when Falkenberg developed into a popular excursion and recreation destination. After a large ski jump was built in the early 1930s, winter sports also gained economic importance. In 1939 813 inhabitants were counted. During the Second World War , a satellite camp of the Groß-Rosen concentration camp was set up in Falkenberg , where forced laborers of various nationalities had to work for the Riese project .
As a result of the Second World War, Falkenberg fell to Poland in 1945, like almost all of Silesia , and was renamed Sokolec . The German population was largely expelled in 1946/47 . Some of the new residents were displaced from eastern Poland . 1975-1998 Sokolec belonged to the Wałbrzych Voivodeship (German Waldenburg ).
