history

Local history

Remnants of Middle Bronze Age graves in the area prove a prehistoric settlement. The permanent settlement is attributed to German settlers in the context of the second phase of the German eastern settlement . Stanewicz was first mentioned in a document in 1358 in connection with an atonement treaty in the Görlitz city register. The village is parish to Kosel .

Stannewisch fell to Christoph von Gersdorff in 1519 through the division of the Baruth estate . It was not until the beginning of the 17th century that the village came into the possession of the Trebus manor , to which it belonged until 1945.

With the Peace of Prague of 1635 the feudal lordship over the margravate of Upper Lusatia and thus also Stannewisch changed from the Kingdom of Bohemia to the Electorate of Saxony .

The mud and clay deposits favored the construction of several brick factories that produced roofing and bricks from the 17th century. The products were sold nationwide, for example the north Bohemian town of Šluknov bought roofing stones from Stannewisch to rebuild the town after one of the great fires. The history of the brickworks in Stannewisch ended in 1938 when the last brickworks was closed as a result of increasing competition from increasing industrial production at other locations.

After the Wars of Liberation , Stannewisch and the greater part of Upper Lusatia fell to Prussia and in 1816 was assigned to the Rothenburg district (Ob. Laus.) . Lignite was mined in the district between 1860 and 1910.

After the Second World War, Stannewisch became Saxon again and was incorporated into the Niesky district during the administrative reform of 1952 . Despite the small size of the farm goods - none was larger than 10 hectares, the smallest only covered 1.1 hectares - an agricultural production cooperative (LPG) was only founded in 1960 during the "Socialist Spring". Between 1963 and 1994 there was an outdoor swimming pool in Stannewisch.

On March 1, 1994, Stannewisch and Kosel were incorporated into Niesky.

In 1777 three possessed men , eight gardeners and six cottagers were reported from Stannewisch .

In 1825 the population was still 283, but dropped to 179 by the time the empire was founded. A slow increase until 1925 was followed by rapid growth, so that in 1939 there were again 289 inhabitants. After the Second World War and into the 1950s, the population grew to around 350 through the reception of refugees and displaced persons. Due to the population decline that began afterwards, the number of inhabitants fell to around 200 by the turn of the millennium.

Place name

Documented variants of the place name include Stanewicz (1358), Stanewisch (1415), Stanewitsch (1452), Stanewisch (1490) and Stannewisch (1791). Variants of the Sorbian name, which is no longer in use today, are Stennisch (1610), Stannoschcizo (1700), Stonoschczo (1800), Stanojšćo (1843) and Stanošćo (1866).

The name is probably derived from the Old Sorbian stanovišće 'location, stand' and possibly denotes a resting place for carters on the highway to Żagań .

Due to Germanization measures during the National Socialist period, the place was renamed Steinhufen on December 22, 1936. Like many renamed places in Lusatia , Stannewisch got its old name back in 1947.
