history

Local history

The first documentary mention of the place is dated to the year 1399. At that time the place was still called Stincbach and was thus a settlement on a stinking, muddy stream. The reinterpretation of the name took place later, from the years 1519 and 1520, for example, Styndbach and Stimbach are handed down; In 1759 the place was called Stimpach and in 1791 it was finally mentioned in today's form of name Steinbach .

A manor existed in Steinbach at least since the 16th century. In 1882 Steinbach was repared from Rothenburg to Sänitz.

Memorial to those who fell in the Franco-Prussian War

After long planning and construction delays, the Horka – Przewóz railway line was opened in 1907 , crossing the Neisse south of Steinbach. The next train stations were in Lodenau and Sänitz.

On April 1, 1938, Steinbach was also politically incorporated into Sänitz. When the Oder-Neisse border separated the community after the Second World War , Steinbach became an independent community again.

The Neisse bridge on the Horka – Przewóz railway line, which was blown up towards the end of the war, was not rebuilt. On the German side, the line was put back into operation and in 1947 a provisional stopping point was set up at kilometer 15.0, which was to be dismantled after the border had been relocated to the east and the line was then taken over again. Since the demarcation was confirmed, the stop “km 15.0” was renamed Steinbach stop. Since the railway line lost its importance, it was only operated as far as Lodenau in the 1960s.

Steinbach was incorporated into Lodenau on July 1, 1969 and on January 1, 1999, after the incorporation of Lodenau, became a district of Rothenburg.

In 1777 the effects of the three Silesian Wars were still noticeable; Although there had been peace since 1763, seven economies were still in desolation. Eight possessed men , four gardeners and ten cottagers lived in the village that year .

Between 1815 and 1945, when Steinbach belonged to the Prussian-Silesian district of Rothenburg (Ob. Laus.) , The population was between 150 and 300. After the Second World War, this mark was exceeded, but the number of inhabitants was again noticeable in the 1960s Pre-war level. In the next 50 years it should drop to a good third of this value.
