Królówka, Orzesze Explained

Królówka (German: Kralowka) is a sołectwo in the south of Orzesze, Silesian Voivodeship, southern Poland.[1] It was an independent village but was, as a part of gmina Gardawice, administratively merged into Orzesze in 1975.[2] It has an area of 5.6 km² and about 260 inhabitants.[3]

History

The village was established in the 13th or 14th century. Historically it was tied with Woszczyce (common noble owners, Catholic parish, municipality, elementary school).[4]

After World War I in the Upper Silesia plebiscite 151 out of 155 voters in Królówka voted in favour of joining Poland, against 4 opting for staying in Germany.[5]
