history

In 1250, Duke Heinrich III. of Silesia gave the Breslau Bishop Thomas I permission to found a city under German law on his ecclesiastical territory near the village of Wansaw. Two years later, Bishop Thomas I commissioned his Vogt Johannes with the construction of the new city of Wansaw and with the recruitment of German settlers.
The city had the misfortune of being partly completely, partly half-burned down in 1606, 1630, 1633, 1636, 1642, 1659, 1668, 1681, 1684 and 1784.
Until 1945 the city of Wansen belonged to the district of Strehlen in the administrative district of Breslau in the Prussian province of Silesia of the German Empire .
After the end of the Second World War , Wansen was placed under Polish administration by the Soviet occupying forces, like almost all of Silesia . The Poles introduced the Polish place name Wiązów for Wansen . Then began the immigration of Polish migrants, some of them from areas east of the Curzon Line , where they belonged to the Polish minority. As far as the German residents had not fled, they were expelled from Wansen by the local Polish administrative authority in the following period .
