geography
Tempelhof is located in the middle of coniferous forests south of the Turawa reservoir twelve kilometers east of the city center of Opole (Opole) in historical Upper Silesia .
history
The Tempelhof colony was founded in 1770 in the middle of the Krascheow Forest. It got its name after the forester Templer, who was responsible for founding the settlement and recruited settlers from the nearby villages of Dembiohammer , Grudschütz and Sczedrzik . 20 living spaces were created for the colonists who produced charcoal for the royal ironworks on the Malapane (now part of Ozimek ). The structure of the settlement with the main street on which the colonist houses with gardens are lined up on both sides has been preserved to this day, as has the little holy house in the center, which was erected by the Opole stonemason Knauer. The mostly Catholic population was parish in Sczedrzik. In 1783 there were 108 inhabitants, in 1844 there were 22 houses and 190 inhabitants, in 1855 176 and 1861 finally 184 inhabitants.
In the referendum on March 20, 1921, 8 eligible voters voted to remain with Germany and 95 for Poland. Nevertheless, Tempelhof and the entire constituency of Opole remained with the German Empire . In 1933, 187 people lived in Tempelhof, then 200 in 1939.
In 1945 the place became part of Poland as Niwki . In 1950 the village became part of the Opole Voivodeship.
The NIWKI program was launched in 1992 by the Opole Education Board and the German Consulate General in Breslau . Since then, teachers from the Opole Voivodeship have been trained and certified for German lessons in bilingual classes in Tempelhof.
Due to its location in the middle of forests, near the Turawa reservoir, the town is now a popular local recreation area for Opole. In Tempelhof there are 56 residential houses and 104 weekend houses .
Since January 25, 2006, German has been the second official language in the Chronstau community , which Tempelhof belongs to. In May 2008 the additional official place name Tempelhof was introduced , in December 2008 bilingual place name signs were introduced.
