Burgrabice [burɡraˈbit͡sɛ] (German: Borkendorf)[1] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Głuchołazy, within Nysa County, Opole Voivodeship, in south-western Poland, close to the Czech border.[2] It lies approximately 13 km (8 mi) north-west of Głuchołazy, and 18 km (11 mi) south of Nysa.[3]
History
[edit]The village was mentioned as Burgravici in 1284, when it was part of fragmented Piast-ruled Poland. Later on, it was also part of Bohemia (Czechia), Prussia, and Germany. During World War II, the Germans operated the E566 forced labour subcamp of the Stalag VIII-B/344 prisoner-of-war camp in the village.[4] After the defeat of Germany in the war, in 1945, the village became again part of Poland and its historic name was restored.
