Zaręba (German Lichtenau ) is a district of the rural community Siekierczyn ( Geibsdorf ) in the powiat Lubański in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship in Poland . It is located on Voivodship Road 357, four kilometers southeast of Siekierczyn. It belonged to Upper Lusatia until 1815 , after which it was incorporated into the Prussian province of Silesia .

history

Lichtenau was founded in the 13th century. It belonged to Upper Lusatia, with which it came to the Crown of Bohemia in 1329 and to the Electorate of Saxony in 1635 . At first it was owned by the Thuringian knight family Salza . At the end of the 16th century it was divided into Nieder Lichtenau and Ober Lichtenau .

Even after the division, Nieder Lichtenau remained in the possession of the Salza family, from whom it came to the Counts of Redern in 1783 . At the beginning of the 19th century it was owned by Hochberg , who sold it to Franz von Giersberg in 1817. Around this time, Nieder Lichtenau Castle burned out. It was rebuilt after 1840 under Hugo von Seifert and a park was added. Subsequently, there were frequent changes of ownership.

Ober Lichtenau , to which the Schreiberbach colony belonged, was initially owned by the von Eberhard family. After the death of Michael von Eberhard in 1632, it came to the state elder Heinrich Sigmund von Debschitz through marriage in 1651 , who transformed Ober Lichtenau into a hereditary allod property . In 1684/85 he initiated a fundamental renovation of the Ober Lichtenau church. In 1696 he sold Ober Lichtenau to Ferdinand Adolph von Loeben on Schwerta . Christoph Albert von Loeben built the settlements of Augustenthal (since 1945 Ponikowa ) and Löbenlust (since 1945 Wesołówki ) for Silesian exiles on Ober Lichtenauer Grund . 1785 Ober Lichtenau was acquired by Albrecht Ludwig Erdmann von Redern. After further changes of ownership, it belonged to Julius von Bierbaum in 1859, who rebuilt the ruined Ober Lichtenau Castle. He bequeathed Ober Lichtenau to his daughter Louise, who was married to Baron Bruno von Steinäcker .

Already after the Congress of Vienna in 1815 Lichtenau, which until then was the precincts had heard Lauban, together with the Ostoberlausitz of Prussia fallen from it to the Prussian province of Silesia was connected. In 1816 it was incorporated into the newly established Lauban district, with which it remained connected until 1945.

In 1865 Lichtenau was connected to a section of the Silesian Mountain Railway. The train station was located near the castle, the travel time to Lauban was 6 minutes in 1939.

The Lichtenau district, established in 1874, consisted of the rural communities of Nieder Lichtenau and Ober Lichtenau and the manor districts of the same name.

There was an economic upswing from the middle of the 19th century through the mining of the rich brown coal deposits . In 1871 the AG for lignite utilization «Glückauf» was founded, which in 1873 bought the mine «Vereins-Glück» and in 1899 the «Kaiser-Wilhelm-Grube». Between 1892 and 1904, the AG for brown coal utilization started up two briquette factories. Due to the exhaustion of the seams and after water ingress, coal production declined after 1925. In 1939 Ober Lichtenau had 1592, Nieder Lichtenau 346 inhabitants.

As a result of the Second World War, Lichtenau and most of Silesia fell to Poland in 1945 and was renamed "Zaręba". The German population was largely expelled unless they had already fled. Some of the newly settled residents were displaced from eastern Poland . Coal production was stopped in 1957, and briquette production a year later. 1975-1998 Zaręba belonged to the Jelenia Góra Voivodeship .
