History
[edit]In the 10th century the area became part of the emerging Polish state, and later on, it was part of Poland, Bohemia (Czechia), itself part of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, Prussia, and Germany. In 1936, during a massive Nazi campaign of renaming of placenames, the village was renamed to Roding to erase traces of Polish origin. During World War II, the German government operated the E195 forced labour subcamp of the Stalag VIII-B/344 prisoner-of-war camp in the village.[2] After the defeat of Germany in the war, in 1945, the village became again part of Poland and its historic name was restored.
