Dębowa Łęka
Dębowa Łęka (German Geyersdorf ) is a village in the Polish urban and rural community Wschowa (pronunciation Ws-chowa) in the southeast of the Lubusz Voivodeship .
It is east of the urban core town of Wschowa on the road to Leszno .
Because 'Łęka' means both 'meadow' and 'wetland'. the place name can be translated as 'oak ground'.
history
The first mention of the place as 'Dambowa Lanka' comes from 1424. Since 1437 the German name appears next to it. In the same century the brick Gothic parish church of St. Hedwig (św. Jadwigi) was built.
Since 1814 the village belonged to the director of the credit company Generallandschaft zu Posen (Ziemstwo Kredytowe w Poznaniu), Aleksander Brodowski. In 1848 he had the new manor house built.
Historically, both Wschowa / Fraustadt and the village belonged to Greater Poland and thus from 1815 to 1920 to the Prussian province of Posen . The Versailles Treaty would have come to re-established Poland . But because of the predominant nationality of the inhabitants, the Fraustadt district remained with the German Empire after a decision by the Inter-Allied Military Control Commission and was incorporated into the Prussian province of Silesia .
After the end of the Second World War , the place was handed over to Poland in 1945.
