history

Voigsdorf was first mentioned in 1346 as Viczdorf . Other spellings were Voytesdorf (1357) and 1411 Foitsdorf . It belonged to the Karpenstein dominion in the Glatzer Land . After Karpenstein Castle was destroyed in 1443, it fell to the Crown of Bohemia as a royal chamber village . In 1684, the Bohemian Chamber sold Voigtsdorf together with Oberthalheim, Winkeldorf , Leuthen , Karpenstein , Wolmsdorf and Konradswalde to the Glatzer regent and imperial councilor Sigmund Hofmann († 1698), who had been raised to the nobility by the emperor with the predicate "von Leuchtenstern". In 1736 his grandson Leopold Reichsgraf von Leuchtenstern sold Voigsdorf and other villages to Landeck's treasury.

After the Silesian Wars , Voigtsdorf and the County of Glatz fell to Prussia in 1763 with the Peace of Hubertusburg . 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. In 1939 there were 108 inhabitants.

As a result of the Second World War , Voigtsdorf fell to Poland in 1945, like almost all of Silesia, and was renamed Wójtówka . The German population was expelled. Some of the new residents were displaced from eastern Poland . 1975-1998 Wójtówka belonged to the Wałbrzych Voivodeship ( Waldenburg ).
