history

Since the 14th century the village belonged as part of the Silesian duchies to the countries of the Bohemian Crown , which were ruled by the Habsburg dynasty at the beginning of the 16th century . As a result of the First Silesian War (1740–42) and the preliminary peace of Breslau (1742), the Kingdom of Prussia gained control of the village and a large part of the Silesian duchies. With the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the province of Silesia was created and the village was incorporated into the Militsch district. Between 1871 and 1945 the village Żmigródek belonged to the German Empire together with the district of Militsch . In the spring of 1945 the province of Silesia was captured by the Soviet army and placed east of the Oder / Neisse under the Potsdam Agreement under Polish administration. With the entry into force of the Two-Plus-Four Treaty in 1991, the village of Żmigródek, including the area of the former province of Silesia east of the Oder / Neisse, officially became part of Poland .
