Różyniec (German: Rosentahl) is a village in the administrative district of Bolesławiec, Lower Silesian Voivodeship. It is situated in the south-western part of the country, in the territory of the municipality of Gromadka, approximately 6 km south-west of the village of the same name and the seat of the municipal authorities, approximately 12 km north-east of Bolesławiec, the capital of the county, and approximately 95 km west of Wrocław, the capital of the province. In 2011, according to the census conducted by the Central Statistical Office, the population was 399.2 Różyniec belonged to Germany until 1945.[1]
The name of the village was first mentioned in 1305 as Rosinthal. Over the years, the name of the village was changed several times, but the modern Polish name of the village is finally Różyniec. The village's origins can be traced back to Slav colonisation in the 11th and 12th centuries. It was settled again in the 13th century when settlers arrived from the west. To date, however, we know relatively little about the history of the village. Only a few dates can be mentioned, recalling important events for the village. In 1760, the first evangelical school was founded. Previously, education had been provided on the farm of the owner of Chalet Baumann. However, the most tragic date concerning Różyniec was 23-24 July 1815, when the entire village of Różyniec, including the school, burned down. However, the school was rebuilt less than a year later.
There are only three monuments in Różyniec:
