Węglewice, Wieruszów County

Węglewice [vɛŋɡlɛˈvit͡sɛ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Galewice, within Wieruszów County, Łódź Voivodeship, in central Poland.

As part of the Kingdom of Poland, between the 16th and 18th centuries, it was a private village, owned by the Walknowski and Karśnicki noble families.

[3] Following World War I, in 1918, Poland regained independence and control of the village.

During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), in 1941, the occupiers carried out expulsions of Poles, who were then enslaved as forced labour and either sent to new German colonists in the county or deported to Germany.

[4] Their houses and farms were handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy.
