  • Nesselgrund, part of the district of Glatz with the manor district of Nesselgrund . Since 1874, this share had belonged to the Altheide district and thus to the Glatz district . The district of Nesselgrund was formed for this share in 1911 , which was dissolved again in 1926. At the same time, this share was incorporated into the Altheide rural community .
  • Nesselgrund, part of the district of Habelschwerdt with the chief forester . This part belonged to the district of Habelschwerdt and, together with Pohldorf and a forest part of Bad Reinerz, formed its own administrative district since 1874 .

As a result of the Second World War , in 1945, like almost all of Silesia, Nesselgrund fell to Poland and was renamed Pokrzywno . The German population was expelled. Some of the new residents were displaced from eastern Poland . From 1945 Pokrzywno belonged to the powiat Bystrzycki, which was dissolved in 1975, as well as the Wrocław Voivodeship, which was responsible until then. In 1975 it came to the newly formed Wałbrzych Voivodeship (German: Waldenburg ), which existed until 1998.
