history
Wittgendorf belonged to the Duchy of Schweidnitz and in the 14th century was the marriage estate of Agnes, who was married to Johann von Seydlitz . He sold "Wittichendorf" in 1376 with the consent of his wife together with the Scholtisei , the Kretscham , the court and a mill as well as all services and interest to the Grüssau monastery . Together with the Duchy of Schweidnitz, it fell to Bohemia under inheritance law after the death of Duke Bolko II in 1368, whereby his widow Agnes von Habsburg was entitled to usufruct until her death in 1392 . To dispute the Turkish tax in 1547 under Abbot Johannes V. Wittgendorf and the villages of Reichenau , Neureichenau and Quolsdorf had to be pledged to Hans von Schaffgotsch . In 1571 the villages came again into monastery property.
After the First Silesian War in 1742, Wittgendorf and Silesia fell to Prussia . In 1810 the monastery property was secularized . After the reorganization of Prussia, it belonged to the province of Silesia from 1815 and from 1816 was incorporated into the Landeshut district, with which it remained connected until 1945. In 1867 Wittgendorf was connected to the Silesian Mountain Railway . Since 1874, the rural community of Wittgendorf was the seat of the district of the same name , which also included the rural communities of Forst, Hartau grüssauisch and Wittgendorf and the Wittgendorf estate. In 1939 the rural community of Wittgendorf was added to the Hartmannsdorf district. In that year 1372 people lived in Wittgendorf.
As a result of the Second World War , Wittgendorf fell to Poland in 1945, like almost all of Silesia, and was renamed Witków . The German population was expelled. Some of the new residents were displaced from eastern Poland . 1975-1998 Witków belonged to the Wałbrzych Voivodeship (German Waldenburg ).
