history

Altweistritz was laid out as a row village and was first mentioned in 1316 as Weystritz . Other spellings were 1319 Wistricz and 1398 alde Beystricz . It was parish in Habelschwerdt and belonged to the Glatzer Land , with which it shared the history of its political and ecclesiastical affiliation. In 1381 it was owned by the von Glaubitz brothers on Schnallenstein . That year they transferred the Altweistritzer mill to the Habelschwerdter Hospital before the regional court in Glatz. After the Hussites captured and destroyed the castle in 1428, it was not rebuilt. After the castle Schnallenstein was destroyed by the Hussites in 1428, the subordinate villages fell back to the Bohemian king as a settled fiefdom. Later ( probably 1684 ) Altweistritz came to the city of Habelschwerdt. After the Silesian Wars it came together with the County of Glatz in 1763 with the Hubertusburg Peace to Prussia . Because of the war debts caused by the Napoleonic Wars , in which the cities had to participate, Altweistritz separated from the Habelschwerdt district in 1816 and became an independent village. After the reorganization of Prussia, it belonged to the province of Silesia from 1815 and was initially incorporated into the district of Glatz . In 1818 it was reorganized into the newly formed district of Habelschwerdt , to which it belonged until 1945. From 1874, the rural communities Altweistritz, Hammer, Hüttenguth, Krotenpfuhl, Neuweistritz, Spatenwalde and Voigtsdorf formed the district of Alt Weistritz. In 1939 there were 1029 inhabitants.

As a result of the Second World War , Altweistritz fell to Poland in 1945, like almost all of Silesia, and was renamed Stara Bystrzyca . The German population was expelled. Some of the new residents were displaced from eastern Poland . Subsequently, the number of inhabitants decreased significantly and in the 1990s was around half of the population of 1939. As a result, numerous houses were left to decay. From 1945 Stara Bystrzyca belonged to the powiat Bystrzycki, which was dissolved in 1975, as well as the Wrocław Voivodeship, which was responsible until then. 1975-1998 Stara Bystrzyca belonged to the Wałbrzych Voivodeship (German Waldenburg ).
