Burgrabice

Burgrabice [burɡraˈbit͡sɛ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Głuchołazy, within Nysa County, Opole Voivodeship, in south-western Poland, close to the Czech border.

The village was mentioned as Burgravici in 1284, when it was part of fragmented Piast-ruled Poland.

Later on, it was also part of Bohemia (Czechia), Prussia, and Germany.

During World War II, the Germans operated the E566 forced labour subcamp of the Stalag VIII-B/344 prisoner-of-war camp in the village.

[2] After the defeat of Germany in the war, in 1945, the village became again part of Poland and its historic name was restored.
