Kobierzyce

Kobierzyce [kɔbjɛˈʐɨt͡sɛ] (German: Koberwitz) is a village in Wrocław County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.

It lies approximately 20 kilometres (12 mi) south-west of the regional capital Wrocław.

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.

The village is home to KPR Kobierzyce, women's handball club, which competes in the Polish Women's Superliga, the country's top division.
