'''Lubrza''' {{IPAc-pl|'|l|u|b|ż|a}} is a [[village]] in [[Prudnik County]], [[Opole Voivodeship]], in southern Poland, close to the [[Czech Republic|Czech]] border. It is the seat of the [[gmina]] (administrative district) called [[Gmina Lubrza, Opole Voivodeship|Gmina Lubrza]].{{TERYT}} It lies approximately {{convert|4|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} east of [[Prudnik]] and {{convert|43|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} south-west of the regional capital [[Opole]]. It had a population of 965 in December 2013.

== Name ==
The village has had numerous names in its history. It was named Lubra by its founder, and over the next few centuries was known as ''Lubrac, Lubrzi'' and ''Leuber'' (in that order.) ''Leuber'' being the German name for the village, it kept that name until it became again part of Poland in 1945, switching to its current name of Lubrza. Historically, it was also known in Polish as ''Lubrzo''.<ref>{{cite book|author= |title=Słownik geograficzny Królestwa Polskiego i innych krajów słowiańskich, Tom V|year=1884|language=pl|location=Warszawa|page=455}}</ref>

== History ==
The village was first mentioned in the will of the founder of the village, dated 1233. For the next few centuries, there were a few scattered references to the village, often under different names. Over all this time, Lubrza had been ruled by the [[Piast dynasty]], first as part of Poland then part of the [[Duchies of Silesia]], which passed under the suzerainty of the neighbouring [[Kingdom of Bohemia]]. It was taken by the [[Habsburg monarchy]] in 1526, only to be taken by [[Kingdom of Prussia|Prussia]] in 1742 in the [[Silesian Wars]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.infoplease.com/encyclopedia/history/austrian-succession-war-the-first-silesian-war.html|title = Austrian Succession, War of the: First Silesian War | Infoplease}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.emersonkent.com/map_archive/silesia_1756.htm|title = Map of the Silesian Wars and the Seven Years' War 1740-1763}}</ref> After the Franco-Prussian wars and the creation of a unified Germany, Lubrza became part of the [[German Empire]]. The Soviet Red Army occupied the village in 1945, and it became again part of Poland when the East German-Polish border was set out that year (see ''[[Territorial changes of Poland after World War II]]'').
