History
Tripe was the beginning of the 16th century from a single yard, which was belonging to the reign of Hummel and probably was parceled out later. For the 1660 tripe was designated as village and the parish was the parish church of St. Michael in Lewin.
After the Silesian Wars Tripe came together with the county of Glatz in 1763 with the Peace of Hubertusburg to Prussia. In 1793 it consisted of 15 houses where 78 people lived. After the reorganization of Prussia belonged since 1815 to the province of Silesia and was from 1816 to 1945 the county Glatz incorporated. It formed its own rural community and belonged to the administrative district Tassau. 1939 were counted 85 inhabitants. As a result of World War II tripe fell in 1945 as almost all of Silesia to Poland and was renamed Kocioł. The German population was expelled. The new inhabitants were partly displaced persons from eastern Poland. The number of inhabitants declined significantly and was less than half of the population of 1939 in the 1990s. Resulted in many houses were left to decay. 1975-1998 belonged to Kocioł Voivodeship Wałbrzych.
