Zabór

Zabór [ˈzabur] (German: Saabor, 1936-45: Fürsteneich)[1] is a village in Zielona Góra County, Lubusz Voivodeship, in western Poland.

The name is of Polish origin and comes from the words za and bór, meaning "behind a coniferous forest".

Princess Hermine Reuss of Greiz (1887–1947), widow of German Emperor Wilhelm II (1859–1941), lived here from her husband's death until her flight in 1945.

[5] In 1936, the Nazi government of Germany, renamed the village to Fürsteneich in attempt to erase traces of Polish origin.

Following World War II, the village became again part of Poland, and its historic Polish name Zabór[3] was restored.
