Wrochem
Wrochem is the name of an old Upper Silesian noble family that appears for the first time in 1379 with a knight Wrochuo , captain of the village of Groß Cosel near Groß Wartenberg. The sure line of trunks does not begin until Wenzel Wlocken auf Langendorf , who on January 14, 1598, wrote his wife Eva von Spiegel a personal treasure in Pawlowitz.
