Lubrza, Opole Voivodeship

Lubrza [ˈlubʐa] is a village in Prudnik County, Opole Voivodeship, in southern Poland, close to the Czech border.

It was named Lubra by its founder, and over the next few centuries was known as Lubrac, Lubrzi and Leuber (in that order.)

Over all this time, Lubrza had been ruled by the Piast dynasty, first as part of Poland then part of the Duchies of Silesia, which passed under the suzerainty of the neighbouring Kingdom of Bohemia.

[3][4] After the Franco-Prussian wars and the creation of a unified Germany, Lubrza became part of the German Empire.

The Soviet Red Army occupied the village in 1945, and it became again part of Poland when the East German-Polish border was set out that year (see Territorial changes of Poland after World War II).
