history
Schlichtingsheim was a settlement of Protestant exiles who fled to Poland during the recatholization of Silesia in the Thirty Years' War . 1.5 km behind the border, in Greater Poland , the owner of the Gurschen (Gorczyna) manor, Johann Georg von Schlichting (Jerzy Szlichtyng in Polish), chief judge of the Fraustädter district, founded a town with the permission of the Polish King Władysław IV. Wasa in 1644 that got his name. The original name of the settlement was Schlichtinkowo , but the German name was just as common. Schlichting laid down civil rights as well as the statutes of the guilds of the various trades. The city was laid out around a rectangular market square with regular streets and originally covered an area of 14 hectares. In 1653, King Johann II Casimir granted Schlichtingsheim the privilege of defeat for linen and linen products.
In 1793 the city came to Prussia , in 1806 it came to the Duchy of Warsaw and finally in 1815 back to Prussia. By marrying a baroness von Schlichting, the town came into the possession of a Herr Cannabens in the 18th century.
Until the dissolution of the province of Posen as a result of the Treaty of Versailles , the small town incorporated in the Fraustadt district belonged to this province. Subsequently belonging to the province of Grenzmark Posen-West Prussia , Schlichtingsheim came to the province of Silesia on October 1, 1938 .
The town had been connected to the railway network since 1906, and the route from Glogau to Guhrau led via Schlichtingsheim. Schlichtingsheim was a city of handicrafts that remained small and tranquil. Its inhabitants were almost exclusively Germans. It was not until 1927 that a town hall was built in Schlichtingsheim.
Towards the end of World War II , Schlichtingsheim was occupied by the Red Army in the spring of 1945 . The city was then placed under Polish administration and renamed Szlichtyngowa . The remaining German residents were then evicted by the local Polish administrative authority .
