History
In the 10th century the area became part of the emerging Polish state. The village was mentioned in the Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis from around 1305, when it was part of fragmented Piast-ruled Poland. Later on, it was also part of Bohemia (Czechia) under the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, to pass to Prussia. In 1936, during a massive Nazi campaign of renaming of placenames, it was renamed to Quellengrund to erase traces of Polish origin. During World War II, the region being part of Germany proper, the German administration operated the E541 forced labour subcamp of the Stalag VIII-B/344 prisoner-of-war camp in the village.[2] Following the defeat of Germany in the war, in 1945, the village became again part of Poland and its historic name was restored.
