Złotnik ( German Reinswalde ) is a place in western Poland . He belongs to the rural community Żary (German Sorau ) in the powiat Żarski , Lebus Voivodeship .
Until 1945 the place was in the district of Sorau (Lausitz) in the Prussian province of Brandenburg . The line of the Lower Silesian-Märkische Eisenbahn (NME) , which connected Berlin with Breslau, led through Reinswalde. The cities of Frankfurt (Oder) , Guben , Sagan and Liegnitz are also on their route .
At the end of the Second World War , most of the Reinswalder fled from the advancing front . Through the resolutions of the Potsdam Agreement , the area was placed under Polish administration and the residents returning after the war had to leave the place again in the summer of 1945.
Many of the expellees found a new home in Balhorn in northern Hesse through their contacts within the old Lutheran community . The resulting settlement Distelberg was built up by displaced people.
