Pietrzykowice, Gmina Kąty Wrocławskie

Pietrzykowice [pjɛtʂɨkɔˈvit͡sɛ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Kąty Wrocławskie, within Wrocław County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.

Under German rule, the name was initially Polnisch Peterwitz and later changed to Petersweiler to erase traces of Polish origin.

During World War II, the Germans operated the E303 forced labour subcamp of the Stalag VIII-B/344 prisoner-of-war camp for Allied POWs at the local sugar factory.

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

The factory processed sugar beet which was grown on farms in area around Pietrzykowice.
