history
In the course of the eastern colonization , German settlers founded the village of Bogindorf on a piece of forest in the city of Schweidnitz . The place was first mentioned in a document in 1268. Since the Middle Ages Bögendorf owned a manor and a hereditary choltisei . By amalgamating individual goods, further preliminary works were created.
Ober Bögendorf had three outworks. In a document from 1440, Kaspar von Schindel is mentioned as the owner of the Obervorwerk . In 1595 it went to Leonhard von Gellhorn. He built a new castle, which was sometimes also called the Geller Schlössel . In 1609 Gellhorn had also acquired the middle Vorwerk from the heirs of the knight Friedrich von Kuhl and the Nieder Vorwerk in 1626 from Joachim von Tschirsky . After that, the manors were long owned by the Knights of Seidlitz.
In 1785 the village was divided into three parts: Nieder- and Ober Bögendorf and the Bögendorfer Pfarrwidmut. The manor of Nieder Bögendorf was added to Ober Bögendorf. It formed its own manor district with a stately castle . In 1785 Ober Bögendorf had 19 houses, 1 watermill and 266 inhabitants. In 1845 there were 53 houses and 391 inhabitants, including 312 Evangelicals and 79 Catholics, 1 manorial brewery and distillery, 1 watermill, 1 Evangelical school as a subsidiary school of Seifersdorf. There were 10 cotton and 9 canvas chairs working.
When it was taken over by Soviet troops and the Polish administration in 1945, Ober Bögendorf was renamed Witoszów Górny . Most of the German residents were expelled by October 1947 and replaced by Poles .
