The article presents the evolution of titulature of the von Promnitz family of the Żary (Sorau) lineage. Its development was similar to the majority of noble clans in Silesia. Members of the von Promnitz ancestry within 16-18th centuries gained ever higher aristocratic titles. Starting from the Baron, then Count, and ending with the Duke – unfortunately the latter title could only be used by two representatives of the ancestry (on an ad personam rule). The source material was based on the manuscripts found in the resources of the State Archives in Zielona Góra and old prints of digital libraries in Poland and Germany.

Apresentation entitled “The Architecture of Renaissance Manor Houses in Lower Silesia” was opened to the public on 18 February 2010 at the Museum of Architecture in Wrocław. The author of the scenario is Krzysztof Eysymontt, who for years worked in an inventory of this type of residential architecture; the curator is a representative of the Museum – Beata Fekecz-Tomaszewska, and the author of the graphic design is Renata Stahl-Wojtowicz. The presentation is composed predominantly of tables depicting more than sixty examples of this architectural form, specific for Silesia. Each contains a brief commentary concerning the presented building, its ground plan and suitable iconographic documentation. The display is supplemented with excellent archival photographs (mainly from the 1960s and 1970s) and an extensive selection of contemporary photographs, mainly taken by Krzysztof Eysymontt. The introduction to the presentation informs that during the sixteenth and seventeenth century there were more than 200 gentry manor houses in Silesia and Lusatia, erected in the course of 150 years. Over a hundred have survived up to our times. Unfortunately, no other fragment of the historical cultural and artistic heritage of Silesia has been subjected to such damage, degradation and oblivion. The manor houses were first the victims of barbaric devastation, conducted with an ideological underpinning during the socialist era and ”exploitation” by state owned farms, and then in the 1990s subjected to thoughtless and unsupervised ”commercialisation”. This is the reason why we should appreciate the current transformations in the approach to these historical monuments, which, reconstructed, meticulously conserved and taken care of, can function in our reality by fulfilling assorted functions without, at the same time, losing any of their historical qualities. Inventory photographic documentation of the early modern Silesian manor house offers invaluable iconographic and research material; the exposition has been enhanced by an addition of assorted museum exhibits, including elements of the outfitting and decoration of the Silesian residences: ceramic tile stoves, fragments of stucco, ceiling beams and fireplaces. All the exhibits originate from the Museum of Architecture in Wrocław. In turn, the reconstruction of the outfitting of the early modern Silesian manor, entitled ”The Outfitting of a Manorial Chamber in the Sixteenth-seventeenth Century”, includes exhibits from the Museum’s own collections, the National Museum in Wrocław and private collections, such as a table, a sideboard, a tapestry, glassware, pewter and zinc artefacts, and an oil portrait. The exceptional attraction of the display lies in the first public presentation of the outcome of research carried out in 2008-2009 in the manor in Ciechanowiec, which led to the discovery of extremely valuable polychromes depicting mythological scenes, lavish ornamental forms, inscriptions and a portrait frieze. The titular presentation should be regarded as both interesting and useful – slight errors in the descriptions of particular monuments do not diminish the value of the whole undertaking.

Dla każdej mniejszości narodowej pielęgnowanie tradycji i zwyczajów jest ważnym wykładnikiem tożsamości. Podobnie jest w przypadku mniejszości łużyckiej, dla której zwyczaje są istotnym elementem jednoczącym i pogłębiającym jej świadomość narodową, a także ważną częścią życia tego narodu. Wśród łużyckich zwyczajów miejsce szczególne zajmują tradycje związane z Wielkanocą. Należą do nich m.in.: zdobienie pisanek, śpiewy wielkanocne, wielkoczwartkowe podarki dla dzieci, chodzenie po wielkanocną wodę, kulanie pisanek, palenie ogni wielkanocnych czy konne procesje w Wielką Niedzielę.

For every national minority cultivating traditions and customs is an important factor of identity. The same applies to the Lusatian minority, for which customs are expressions unifying and deepening their national awareness as well as playing an important part in their way of life. Among the Lusatian customs, a special place is occupied by traditions related to Easter. These include decorating Easter eggs, Easter singing, Holy Thursday presents for children, fetching Easter water, rolling Easter eggs, Easter Fire or the Easter Riders on Easter Sunday.

Artykuł jest poświęcony specyficznej grupie kościołów ewangelickich (luterańskich), które powstały na ziemi legnickiej i Łużycach w drugiej połowie XVII w. Protestanci mieli wówczas możliwość praktykowania swojej konfesji tylko na terenach niepozostających pod władzą katolików. Określenie kościoły ucieczkowe odnosi się do tych kościołów katolickich, które po opuszczeniu ich przez katolików zostały przejęte przez ewangelików. Kościoły graniczne zostały natomiast wybudowane przez ewangelików od podstaw. W obu typach kościołów zachował się ich charakterystyczny wystrój. Położenie geograficzne zachowanych kościołów ucieczkowych i granicznych umożliwia odtworzenie granic historycznych pomiędzy Śląskiem a Łużycami oraz pomiędzy księstwem legnickim a księstwami „cesarskimi”.

The paper is devoted to a specific group of evangelical (Lutheran) churches founded in Legnica and Lusatia in the second half of the 17th century. The Protestants could only practice their beliefs in areas not ruled by Catholics. The term escape churches (Zufluchtskirche) applies to Catholic churches abandoned by Catholics and taken over by Evangelican Protestants. On the other hand, border churches were built by Evangelical Protestants from scratch. In both types of churches, distinctive style of decor was preserved. The geographical location of preserved escape and border churches allows us to retrace the historical borders between Silesia and Lusatia, as well as between the Duchy of Legnica and the “Kaiser's” duchies.
