Zimna Woda ( German Kaltwasser ) is a village in the powiat Lubiński in the Polish Lower Silesian Voivodeship . The formerly German cold water was renamed Zimna Woda on September 9, 1947. Between 1975 and 1998 it was part of the Legnica Voivodeship .
Geographical location
The place is located in the Middle Silesian plain in a large forest area between Lubin and Legnica .
history
The place was mentioned as early as 1361, the parish church in 1399. The name cold water probably goes back to the high standing groundwater. In 1419 it is mentioned as Kaldin water.
In 1507 it was owned by Nikolaus von Axleben, in 1649 by Count Pompeii and then by Count von Gözze. Around 1789, 355 residents lived in the village. In 1845 there are 584 inhabitants recorded.
The drainage of wet meadows and bogs increased the agricultural area.
In 1912 Colonel von Briesen owned the castle and, from 1932, Arno Matthes.
In addition to agriculture and forestry, the place had a blacksmith's shop, carpentry, shoemaker, butcher and an inn around 1927.
Before the start of the Second World War in 1939, 421 residents in 125 households lived in Kaltwasser.
As a result of the Red Army's offensive, known as the Lower Silesian Operation , on February 8, 1945, the German front on the Oder collapsed. Tank units advanced up to 60 km within a day. The German civilian population left cold water in a hurry from carts within a few hours and fled in the direction of Görlitz at temperatures as low as −20 degrees Celsius . A return was impossible after the end of the war. During the fighting in the woods for Kaltwasser on February 9, 1945, the German units that were supposed to lead a counter-attack in the direction of Lüben were crushed.
