Długołęka (Polish: [dwuɡɔˈwɛŋka]) (German: Langewiese) is a village in Wrocław County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] It is the seat of the administrative district (gmina) called Gmina Długołęka.

It lies approximately 13 kilometres (8 mi) north-east of the regional capital Wrocław.

History[edit]

The first references to the village date back to the 13th century, when it was part of fragmented Piast-ruled Poland. Later on, it also passed to Bohemia (Czechia), Prussia and Germany. A labour camp of the Reich Labour Service was operated in the village under Nazi Germany.[2] It became again part of Poland following Germany's defeat in World War II in 1945.
