Ujazd, Zgorzelec

The earliest mention of Moys dates back to 1309. It was the location of the historic battle of Moys on 7 September 1757.

The city council of Görlitz, then a prosperous city and member of the Lusatian League, had acquired Moys in 1380 from John of Görlitz. The city council had to give up Moys in 1547 as a punishment imposed by Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor; but none of his feudal lords expressed interest in purchasing Moys, and so in 1549 it was granted back to the city of Görlitz. After the Thirty Years' War brought the city into financial straits, the city council had to sell Moys in 1655 for 11,270 thalers.[2] It wasn't until 1 July 1929 that Moys was incorporated back into the city.

At the 1815 Congress of Vienna, Lusatia was divided, and its northeastern part including Görlitz and Moys was awarded to the Kingdom of Prussia, which since 1871 became part of the German Reich.

The Berlin–Wrocław railway, which ran past Moys and opened on 1 September 1847, sped up the development of the suburb. The second line, Silesian Mountain Railway, opened in 1865 and connected Görlitz to Hirschberg (nowadays Jelenia Góra), with the railway junction constructed just north of Moys. This junction was then upgraded to a passenger station (Moys bei Görlitz) which opened in 1876. The urbanisation of Moys was recognised on 18 May 1900 by connecting it to the Görlitz tram network. By the time Moys was incorporated into the city of Görlitz in 1929, it had 2752 inhabitants and covered 784 ha.[3]
