Naming

In the year 1761, during the Seven Years' War, Frederick the Great went into an entrenched mount guard (entrenched camp) close to Bolesławice (de:Bunzelwitz). With 50,000 troops he was up against 132,000 allied Austrian and Russian troops. During the Camp of Bunzelwitz King Frederick II was staying in a tent (de:Zelt). In order to remember to this campaign, the later close to that area established railway station was named Koenigszelt (en: King's tent, today Jaworzyna Śląska). In memory to the Camp of Bunzelwitz there was a memorial stone on the northern end of the station.
