Wawrzyńcowice

Wawrzyńcowice [vavʐɨɲt͡sɔˈvit͡sɛ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Strzeleczki (Gemeinde Klein Strehlitz), within Krapkowice County, Opole Voivodeship, in the south-western Polish region of Upper Silesia.

Historically located in Upper Silesia, in the Prudnik Land.

Initially the village was in the possession of the noble House of Schaffgotsch, then in 1821 it passed to Baron Seherr-Thoss, who sold it in the 1860s to Major Thiele-Winckler von Miechowitz, whose family owned the village until World War II.

In 1945 Silesia was given to Poland and the German population of Lorenzdorf was largely expelled.

The village was renamed Wawrzyńcowice and annexed to the newly created Silesian Voivodeship.
