history
Frankenstein was founded by the Breslau Duke Heinrich IV. On a property that partly belonged to the episcopal town of Protzan and partly to the Trebnitz monastery village of Zadel. Its location on the so-called Königstrasse, which led from Prague via Glatz to Breslau, favored the development of the city.
Frankenstein was first mentioned in a document dated January 10, 1287. In 1298, Duke Bolko I von Schweidnitz gave the city the right to lay down salt and lead. His son Bolko II confirmed the fishing rights in 1334 and released the city from horse service a year later . In 1321 he founded the Duchy of Münsterberg , to which Frankenstein also belonged. The history of the city is therefore largely identical to that of the rulers of the duchy.
In 1335 the city was besieged by the Moravian margrave and later King of Bohemia, Charles IV . Subsequently, with the Treaty of Straubing on August 29, 1336 , Duke Bolko II placed the Duchy of Münsterberg under the upper fiefdom of Bohemia . 1,346 of Ziębice Duke pledged Nicholas the precincts of Frankenstein the nobleman Heinrich von Haugwitz , two years transferred the lien on King Charles IV later.. On November 9, 1351, Charles IV acquired Frankenstein from Duke Nikolaus and incorporated it into the Glatzer Land as a Münsterberg enclave . The Frankenstein area was thus directly under the Crown of Bohemia . From 1368 to 1465, the office of the Frankenstein governor was held by the respective governor from Glatz. The upper judiciary, which was also acquired in 1351, was exercised by the bailiffs . From 1378 to 1387, both Frankenstein and the Glatzer Land were pledged to the Margrave Jobst , who did not exercise the office of governor and transferred it to authorized representatives. 1388-1397 held the office of governor Stefan Poduška von Martinitz , a favorite of King Wenceslaus IV. After Poduška's violent death, Frankenstein and Glatz were pledged to Duke John II of Troppau-Ratibor in 1397 and administered by his sub-captains. After the death of King Wenceslas, King Sigismund paid off the pledge in 1422 and appointed the East Bohemian nobleman Puta d. J. von Častolowitz as governor of Glatz and Frankenstein.
On March 20, 1428, the city was largely destroyed by the Hussites . After the last Duke of Münsterberg, Johann, died on December 27, 1428 in the battle of Altwilmsdorf , Münsterberg and with it Frankenstein fell to King Sigismund as a settled fief. On August 13, 1429 he pledged the Münsterberg duchy to Puta the Elder. J. and on July 13, 1431 also Glatz and Frankenstein. In 1434 he inherited the Duchy of Münsterberg to him.
After Puta's death in 1434, his widow Anna von Kolditz sold the property to Hynek Kruschina von Lichtenburg in 1440 . He granted Frankenstein two weekly markets in 1441, but was unable to assert himself as a duke among the Münsterberg stalls. Although the Münsterberg estates elected Opava Duke Wilhelm von Troppau as their new sovereign on April 25, 1443 , whose mother was a sister of Duke Johann, who fell in 1428, Frankenstein was on the side of Hynek. After the agreement concluded between Hynek and Duke Wilhelm in 1444, Wilhelm received the Duchy, reduced by Frankenstein, and Hynek Kruschina the soft image of Frankenstein and the Glatzer Land.
After Hynek Kruschina's death in 1454, his son Wilhelm Kruschina von Lichtenburg sold his father's possessions to the provincial administrator and later King of Bohemia, Georg von Podiebrad . He transferred the Duchy of Münsterberg and the Glatzer Land, which he had elevated to a county in 1459, to his sons on December 16, 1465. They divided the inheritance after the death of their father in 1472. The second eldest son, Heinrich the Elder, became Duke of Münsterberg and pledgee of Glatz . Ä. who professed the Catholic faith. His son Charles I was the sole ruler of the duchy from 1511. He dedicated himself particularly to the economic and structural development of Frankenstein. His particular ambition was to rebuild the castle, in which he resided from 1530. After his death, his four sons supported the goals of the Reformation . Because of the debts left to them by their father, they could not complete the palace. After the duchy was pledged, it served as the seat of the royal governors.
Even in the Thirty Years War , the city and its population had to endure destruction and harassment. The castle was blown up two years before the end of the war.
After the First Silesian War , Frankenstein fell to Prussia in 1742 . It rose to become a district town and was connected to the railway in 1858. In the same year the city was destroyed by fire. With the subsequent reconstruction, the character of the city changed due to the advancing industrialization. Around 1900 Frankenstein was still surrounded by a wall, had two Protestant and three Catholic churches, a synagogue , a Progymnasium , a school teachers' college, a monastery of the Merciful Brothers , various manufacturing plants, and magnesite and nickel ore were mined. From 1926 to 1945 the well-known HARO fountain pen factory Hanns Roggenbuck & Co. produced in Frankenstein, which opened another branch in Weißwasser , Czechoslovakia, in 1930 .
In 1945, Frankenstein belonged to the district Frankenstein in district Breslau the Prussian province of Silesia of the German Reich .
Towards the end of the Second World War , Frankenstein was captured by the Red Army in the spring of 1945 and soon afterwards, like most of Silesia, was placed under Polish administration by the Soviet occupying power . Frankenstein received the Polish place name Ząbkowice Śląskie . In the following period, the German population was largely expelled by the local Polish administrative authority . Some of the newly settled residents came from the areas east of the Curzon Line that fell to the Soviet Union .
As from 1946 to 1975, the city was again the seat of a powiat in 1999 .
Provincial governors
During the temporary annexation to the Glatzer Land from 1351 to 1465, the Weichbild Frankenstein had its own governors. Some of them were royal court officials, some held the office only formally in order to increase their prestige, and others were given the office as creditors of the king, who could thereby reduce the debt claims. The office was partially exercised by the Governor of Glatz in personal union, whereby a formal separation was retained: While the Governor of Glatz authenticated with a personal seal, the Frankenstein documents were authenticated with a seal of the Frankenstein Governor.
