Szklarska Poręba ((ドイツ語:Schreiberhau)) is a town in Jelenia Góra County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland. The town has a population of around 7,000. It is a popular ski resort. An important regional and national centre for mountain hiking, cycling and skiing, Szklarska Poręba is situated in the valley of the Kamienna, between the Karkonosze Mountains in the south and Jizera Mountains in the west, at 440-886 m above sea level, south-west of Jelenia Góra. The ski resorts in this area are growing in popularity as a budget alternative to the Alps, thanks to wide range of both Alpine and Nordic skiing facilities. ==History== The village was established in the Lower Silesian Duchy of Jawor by German colonists on a spot bought by Knights Hospitallers descending from ''Calidus Fons'' (Bad Warmbrunn, now Cieplice Śląskie-Zdrój in Jelenia Góra), who were interested in finding gold and precious gems in the area.〔(Historiai Miasta official website of Szklarska Poręba )〕 It was first mentioned in 1366 and 1372 in conjunction with a glass factory, forerunner of the famed later ''Josephinenhütte'', as ''Schribirshau'' and ''Schreibershow''. In 1578 several Bohemian Protestants moved to the village and greatly contributed to its development.〔(Historiai Miasta official website of the Szklarska Poręba )〕 Among the refugees was Marie Pluch, which gave the district Mariental its name. Over time the glass factory moved deeper into the mountains. In 1617 the Preußler family migrated from the southern Bohemian side of the Karkonosze ridge to Silesia and received a concession to run a movable glass factory from the counts of Schaffgotsch, landlords of Schreiberhau. The glass industry of the village was dominated by the Preußler family for the next 200 years. In 1842 Franz Pohl, son-in-law of the last Preußler, persuaded Count Schaffgotsch to establish a new glass factory in Schreiberhau. This ''Josephinenhütte'' became the largest and best glass factory in Silesia, while Schreiberhau greatly expanded to become the largest village in Prussia,〔Schüttig, p.88〕 with 15 districts covering . Around 1900 several artists discovered the beauty of the countryside and formed the Schreiberhau artists' colony, among them Gerhart Hauptmann and his brother Carl, Otto Mueller and Wilhelm Bölsche. Later, younger artists formed the St. Lukas artists' association. In 1925 the first winter games of the International Workers Olympiad (organised by the Lucerne Sport International) were held in the town. Twelve national delegations participated.〔Wheeler, Robert F.. ''(Organized Sport and Organized Labour: The Workers' Sports Movement )'', in ''Journal of Contemporary History'', Vol. 13, No. 2, Special Issue: Workers' Culture (Apr., 1978), pp. 191-210〕 After World War II Schreiberhau became part of Poland (see Territorial changes of Poland after World War II) and was renamed Szklarska Poręba (literally "glass clearing"). The German inhabitants were forcibly expelled and the village resettled with Poles. The Josephinenhütte was moved to Schwäbisch Gmünd. The glass factory in Szklarska Poręba was renamed and continued to operate. On 22–27 September 1947 the conference on the establishment of the communist information office (Kominform) took place in the village. The village gained the status of a town in 1959. Szklarska Poręba still contains some fine villas and municipal buildings built before the war although many are now being unsympathetically restored with the local planning laws being easily flouted. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Szklarska Poręba」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
