County Glatz


The county of Glatz was a county within the Holy Roman Empire. The county was not classified by a crew. The capital of the county of Glatz was Glatz, now the Polish city of Kłodzko was named for the first time as a castle of Bohemia on the border with Poland under the name Cladsko in 981. In 1223 the German name Glatz was used. The city was the center of the country, since 1459, Glatz County.

After the defeat of Ottokar II of Bohemia in 1278, the county of Glatz borrowed a Bohemian for Silesian princes for long periods.

In 1454, the area was bought by King George of Podiebrad, which raised it in 1459 to a county-dependent county. His son Duke Hendrik de Oudere of Münsterberg (died in 1498) moved his residence after the division of the paternal legacy to Glatz in 1472.

From 1501 to 1534 the county was plowed to the graves of Hardeck. In 1524 the Reformation was introduced.

In 1554/60, the county returned to Bohemia. In 1742, Austria had to pay off most of the duchy of Silesia and the county of Glatz to the kingdom of Prussia.

In 1945, Poland owned the German territories east of the Oder-Neisse, and thus the former county of Glatz.
