- Scope and content:
- The collection contains documents (1547-1775) – sale of property, town privileges, customs matters, fairs, construction matters, church matters.There are no documents directly related to Jews as from approx. the 15th century the "de Judaeis non tolerandis" law applied. Jews could appear as witnesses, but it is unlikely that they did; Jews from the Głogów community made short trips to the town to attend fairs.
- Archival history:
- Materials were stored in the municipal archives of Nowogród Bobrzański. In the second half of the 19th century at the initiative of the state authorities the documents were transferred in the form of a deposit to the State Archives in Wrocław and added to Rep. 132a. During World War II, they were moved out of Wrocław. After the war, they were taken over by the archives of East Germany (later the German Democratic Republic). They were transferred back to Wrocław in 1980.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- Nowogród Bobrzański is currently a village in Zielona Góra county on the Bóbr river. At various times, the town belonged to the princes of Silesia and Saxony, and to the kings of Czechia and Brandenburg. The town was granted rights by Henry the Bearded, who erected an important castellan castle there. The prince, at the request of his wife Jadwiga, settled a group of regular canons there in 1217, who then moved to Żagań in 1284. In 1602, a new castle was built in the town for the owners of the town of Promnitz. Inhabitants dealt mainly in cloth, tanning and shoemaking, in the 17th century brewing, farming and fishing. A large nickel works was built there in 1860. In 1827, a sanatorium was established in the town. Nowogród gained a railroad connection in the years 1904-05. After 1945, Nowogród Bobrzański lost its town rights.
