Ziębice [ʑɛm'bʲiʦɛ] (German Münsterberg in Schlesien ) is a town in the powiat Ząbkowicki in the Polish Voivodeship of Lower Silesia . From 1321 to 1530 it was the residence of the Dukes of Münsterberg .
Geographical location
The city is located in Lower Silesia on the right bank of the Ohle , about 50 kilometers south of Wroclaw . Neighboring towns are Nowy Dwór (Neuhof) in the north, Kalinowice (Kunzendorf) and Wigańcice (Weigelsdorf) in the northeast, Dębowiec (Eichau) in the east, Osina Wielka (Groß Nossen) in the southwest, Starczówek (Neu Altmannsdorf) and Biernacice (Bernsdorf) in the south , Służejów in the southwest, Rososznica (Olbersdorf) in the southwest and Krzelków (Krelkau) and Henryków (Heinrichau) in the northwest.
history
Münsterberg was first mentioned in 1234 under the Slavic name Sambice . It is believed that it was destroyed by the Mongols in 1241, like the nearby Heinrichau Monastery . The first document under the name Munsterberck dates from February 1st, 1253 and shows the place according to German law. In 1268 the city owned a mint. For 1276 a hospice of the Knights of the Cross is occupied with the Red Star , for 1307 a monastery of the Friars Minor (Minorites) with a monastery church to the Holy Cross , which belonged to the Saxon Franciscan Province (Saxonia) . Bolko I von Schweidnitz built a castle in the north of the city, where his son Bolko II resided from 1321 and founded the line of the Dukes of Münsterberg . From this point in time until the end of the 18th century, the rulership of the city of Münsterberg is identical to the history of the duchy.
In 1322 Munsterberg received from Bolko II the right of free council elections and in 1335 lower jurisdiction. The city, which was thirty-five hectares in area in 1336, was surrounded by walls with five gates leading to the outside. In that year the siege by the Margrave of Moravia , later Emperor Charles IV , led to the recognition of the Bohemian suzerainty. In 1344 Münsterberg received a higher court, four years later also jurisdiction over the Jews. During the Hussite Wars , the last Duke of Münsterberg, Johann from the Silesian Piast family, and 400 of his fellow combatants were killed in the Battle of Altwilmsdorf on December 27, 1428 .
As a settled fiefdom, Münsterberg fell back to King Sigismund , who in 1429 gave it to Puta the Elder out of gratitude . J. von Častolowitz pledged, who had made a great contribution in the fight against the Hussites . Probably for this reason the Hussites destroyed the city and castle of Münsterberg in the same year. After Puta's death in 1434, his widow Anna von Colditz administered the inherited estates and sold them in 1440 to Hynek Kruschina von Lichtenburg , whom she married a short time later. As Hynek was unable to assert himself with the Münsterberg estates, they elected Duke Wilhelm of Troppau as their new sovereign in 1443 . He was the son of Johann's sister Katharina and had recently been married to Puta's daughter Salome. After Wilhelm's death in 1452, the Duchy of Münsterberg passed to his brother Ernst , who sold it in 1456 to the Bohemian King Georg von Podiebrad , who owned his sons Viktorin , Heinrich the Elder. Ä. and Heinrich d. J. raised to dukes of Munsterberg.
Georg's grandson Karl I von Münsterberg moved the residence to Frankenstein in 1530 . His four sons supported the goals of the Reformation . Because of the large debt that they had to take over from Karl, they pledged the duchy in 1542. Münsterberg also suffered great damage during the Thirty Years' War .
After the First Silesian War , Münsterberg, like almost all of Silesia, fell to Prussia in 1742 . The duchy was converted into a civil status, which was acquired in 1791 by the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm II . After the transition to Prussia, Münsterberg became the home of many Protestant Bohemians who had to leave their homeland for religious reasons. From 1742 to 1885 Münsterberg was a garrison town, from 1816 to 1932 a district town . In 1872 the city was connected to the Breslau – Mittelwalde railway line .
Until 1945 Miinsterberg belonged to the district Frankenstein in district Breslau the Prussian province of Lower Silesia of the German Reich .
After the end of World War II , Münsterberg and almost all of Silesia were placed under Polish administration by the Soviet occupying power in 1945 and received the Polish place name Ziębice . The German population was expelled from Münsterberg by the local Polish administrative authority . Some of the new Polish settlers came from the areas east of the Curzon Line that had fallen to the Soviet Union as part of the “ West displacement of Poland ” .
