'''Nowa Ruda''' (pronounced {{IPA|['nɔva 'ruda]}}; {{lang-cz|Nová Ruda}}, {{lang-de|Neurode}}) is a town in [[Lower Silesian Voivodeship]], [[Poland]], on the [[Włodzica]] river and near the town of [[Kłodzko]]. |
|||
As of January 1, [[2005]] it had 24,697 inhabitants. The town is located in the central [[Sudetes]] in the [[Powiat of Kłodzko]] of the [[Lower Silesian Voivodeship]]. Between [[1975]] and [[1999]] it formed a part of the [[Wałbrzych Voivodeship]]. |
|||
==History== |
|||
Situated in the rich [[Kłodzko Valley]], the area of the modern town has been inhabitated since the early middle ages by German settlers. Officially, the settlement was granted with [[city charter]] in [[1363]] and received the name of ''Newenrode''. The city was rechartered under a local variant of the [[Magdeburg Law]] in [[1434]] and then again in [[1596]]. Since then it has shared the fate of the nearby city of [[Kłodzko]]. The town was the capitol of the ''Landkreis Neurode'' until 1932 when it came back to the ''Landkreis Glatz''. |
|||
The result of the politics of the [[Allies]] has been a huge [[expulsion]] of population in whole [[Eastern Europe]]. Many people were expelled from [[Galicia (Central Europe)|Galicia]] and came to [[Silesia]]. Since the [[expulsion of Germans after World War II]] the majority of inhabitants of Nowa Ruda are Polish. Since the [[Ostpolitik|Eastern Politics]] of German [[Chancellor]] [[Willy Brandt]] the former German inhabitants were allowed to travel to their [[hometown]]s and tried to arrange with the current population. |
|||
The area was notable in the middle ages as a source of rich iron ore deposits. Until [[2000]] there was also a coal mine and a [[gabbro]] mine in Nowa Ruda's borough of Słupiec. |
