history

When Poland moved to the west after the Second World War , the region became Polish territory. On June 28, 1946, the municipality Dzietrzychowice was assigned as part of the Powiat Żagań of the newly created Wroclaw Voivodeship and in 1950 the Grünberg Voivodeship .

From July 1, 1952, the municipality consisted of 11 districts : Bukowina Bobrzańska, Chrobrów, Dzietrzychowice, Jabłonów, Jelenin, Kącik, Kocin, Marysin, Pożarów, Stara Kopernia and Stary Żagań. As a result of the abolition of the municipalities, it was dissolved in 1954. When the parishes were reintroduced, the Dzietrzychowice parish was not reestablished in 1972; instead, most of the places came to the newly formed Gmina Żagań, Jabłonów (Schönbrunn) came to the Brzeźnica parish .
