Rąpice [rɔmˈpit͡sɛ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Cybinka, within Słubice County, Lubusz Voivodeship, in western Poland, close to the German border.[1] It lies approximately 11 kilometres (7 mi) south-west of Cybinka, 29 km (18 mi) south-east of Słubice, 57 km (35 mi) west of Zielona Góra, and 77 km (48 mi) south-west of Gorzów Wielkopolski. It is located within the historic Lubusz Land.
History[edit]
There are two archaeological sites in the village: one dating back to the Lusatian culture and one dating back to the Early Middle Ages.[2] The area formed part of Poland since the establishment of the state in the 10th century.[2] The territory was administratively located within the Lubusz castellany and the Catholic Diocese of Lubusz, both established in the early 12th century by Polish ruler Bolesław III Wrymouth.[2] The oldest known mention of the village comes from a document from 1232.[2] In 1277, it became a possession of the Cistercians from Lubiąż.[2] After Polish rule, it was ruled by the Margraviate of Brandenburg and Bohemia (Czechia). Despite the annexation of the territory by Brandenburg, the village was still inhabited by Poles in the 17th century, and there were church services in the Polish language.[2] From the 18th century, it was part of Prussia, and from 1871 to 1945 it was also part of Germany. After the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II, in 1945, along with the right-bank Lubusz Land (portion situated east of the Oder River) the village became again part of Poland.
