Poręba is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Bystrzyca Kłodzka, within Kłodzko County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 9km (06miles) south-west of Bystrzyca Kłodzka, 240NaN0 south of Kłodzko, and 1040NaN0 south of the regional capital Wrocław.
In the Middle Ages, the village was at various times part of Poland and Bohemia. In the 18th century it was annexed by Prussia, and from 1871 it was also part of Germany. During World War II, the Germans operated the E432 forced labour subcamp of the Stalag VIII-B/344 prisoner-of-war camp in the village.[2] Following Germany's defeat in the war, in 1945, the area became again part of Poland.
