history

"Wyrbna" was a knight's seat that was acquired in 1343 by the city of Grottkau, with which it came a year later to the episcopal principality Neisse ( diocese land ), which had been a fiefdom of the crown of Bohemia since 1342 . A scholtisei is documented for the year 1379 . In 1370 it was owned by a nephew of Bishop Preczlaw von Pogarell . In 1371 the village is mentioned as Wirbin , in 1379 again as Wirbna . In 1425 it consisted of four interestable hooves , two of which lay desolate. On two hooves, three pounds of pepper had to be paid annually, which the bishop left to the heir of Kühschmalz , who was his follower. In 1579 the Vorwerk was owned by Melchior Seidlitz . In the Thirty Years War , Würben was devastated.

After the First Silesian War in 1742, Würben and most of the Principality of Neisse fell to Prussia . After the reorganization of the province of Silesia , the rural community of Würben belonged to the district of Grottkau in the administrative district of Opole from 1816 . In 1845 there was a Catholic school, an estate, a farm and 30 other houses in the village. In the same year, 193 people lived in Würben, 23 of them Protestants. In 1855 a school was built in the village. In 1855 there were 265 people living in Würben. In 1865 there were 21 gardeners and six cottages in the village . The two-class Catholic school was attended by 115 students in the same year. Since 1874, Würben belonged to the Striegendorf district , with which it remained connected until 1945. In 1885 Würben had 195 inhabitants.

In 1933 197 people lived in Würben, in 1939 there were 176. Until the end of the war in 1945 the place belonged to the district of Grottkau . Until 1945 the village belonged to the property of the Endersdorf family.

As a result of the Second World War, in 1945, like most of Silesia , Würben fell under Polish administration. It was subsequently renamed Wierzbna and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. The German population was largely expelled . 1950 Wierzbna was incorporated into the Opole Voivodeship. In 1999 the newly founded Powiat Brzeski ( Brieg district ) came about .
