History
History
The oldest known mention of the village comes from a document of Duke Henry III the White from 1257, when it was part of fragmented Piast-ruled Poland. Its name is of Polish origin, and comes from the word kobierzec, referring to its role as a center of weaving. It was the location for Rudolf Steiner's Agriculture Course in 1924. It was a course of eight lectures, there were 111 attendees from six countries, it led to the development of biodynamic agriculture, and it has been described as "the first organic agriculture course".
