In the November issue of "Głos", we began printing the "Suszki chronology". At that time, we had reached the year 1550. Today, we continue the history of this locality.
1560 – an inspection of the Lwówek beer mile was carried out. Count Konrad v. Hochberg of Książ wrote: "(...) Suszki. Under Joachim v. Salza. Świdnica beer was found; a new beer house (i.e. brewery) was also built there. Suszki. In the lower manor of Hans v. Redern, similarly(...)".
1588 – Hans Doering of Suszki was tried before the Lwówek bench for theft and was then hanged on Gallows Hill (26 February).
1571 – the owner of the Skała dominion erected a gallows and pillory near Żerkowice, violating Lwówek’s privileges of 1217, confirmed by Emperor Maximilian II in the previous year (1570).
1629 – a document of Emperor Ferdinand II mentions Suszki within the Lwówek beer mile. 1638 – Mr Knobelsdorf (tenant?) of Suszki received from the Lwówek Council a piece of land from the Municipal Forest for the establishment of a hunting reserve.
1663 – the governor of the Duchy of Świdnica-Jawor, Count Otto Wacław v. Nostitz, asked the Lwówek Council to sell brewing rights in Suszki.
1742 – the owner of the village was Karol, Count v. Reder (Roeder), Baron v. Krappitz, lord of Skała. He founded the Suszki colony with a grange (1787), named after him Karlshof.
1799 – the knightly hereditary estate of Suszki, as a permanent constituent part of the Skała dominion, was resold by Count Johanna Fr. Ludwik v. Pueckler to Prince Piotr Kurlandzki (also of Żagań). Subsequently, the entire dominion, including Suszki, passed by inheritance to his elder daughter Maria Luiza Paulina, Duchess of Żagań, married hereditary princess v. Hohenzollern–Hechingen, under a will (from 1802). In 1837, Suszki was permanently separated from Skała. After the death of the last of the Hechingen line, Prince Konstanty, Suszki passed into the hands of the second Hohenzollern line – Sigmaringen – and remained with them until 1945. Until that same year, the official name of the village was Duerrkunzendorf, while until the year
1947 – Janina (the name did not survive; it was still associated with the clay mine into the 1970s). After the war, the name of the Karlshof colony was Brygadowice.
By a regulation of the Council of Ministers dated 30 November
1972 – the area of the Suszki village administration was excluded from Lwówek County and incorporated into Bolesławiec County.
P.S. 1915 – a large poultry farm was established in the Karlshof colony (Martin Droth).
