History

The region became German-speaking over the centuries by German Ostsiedlung, but the village of Woitz was mentioned as sill being Polish-speaking in 1495, when bishop of Breslau Johann Roth ordered the village population to learn German. [2] Before 1945 the area was part of Germany (see Territorial changes of Poland after World War II).

gollark: I think Camto already posted it.
gollark: There really is a Nobody, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Nobody is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Nobody is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Nobody added, or GNU/Nobody. All the so-called "Nobody" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Nobody.
