Tułowice is a town in Opole County, Opole Voivodeship, in southern Poland. It is the seat of Gmina Tułowice. It lies approximately 220NaN0 south-west of the regional capital Opole. It is located within the historic region of Upper Silesia.
The town has a population of 4,011.
In the Middle Ages the settlement was under Polish rule, and then it was also part of Bohemia (Czechia), Prussia and Germany. In the 19th century it was also known in Polish as Tyłowice.[2] During World War II, the Germans established and operated the E581 forced labour subcamp of the Stalag VIII-B/344 prisoner-of-war camp in the village.[3] In August 1944, the Stalag 367 prisoner-of-war camp was relocated from Częstochowa to Tułowice, however, it was disbanded shortly afterwards.[4] The village was restored to Poland after the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II in 1945. For most of its history, Tułowice was a village, before it was granted town rights in 2017, with effect from 2018.[5]
There is a train station, located on the Polish Railway Line No. 287 which connects Opole and Nysa.
