- "Brzeg ([bʐɛk] (listen); Latin: Alta Ripa, German: Brieg, Silesian German: Brig, Silesian: Brzeg, Brzyg, Czech: Břeh) is a town in southwestern Poland with 35,226 inhabitants (2020) and the capital of Brzeg County. It is situated in Silesia in the Opole Voivodeship on the left bank of the Oder river.
The town of Brzeg was first mentioned as a trading and fishing settlement in the year 1234. In 1248, Silesian Duke Henry III the White granted the settlement Magdeburg town rights and by the late 13th century the city became fortified. Sometimes referred to as “the garden town”, the town´s size greatly expanded after the construction of dwelling houses which were located on the city outskirts. From the early 14th to late 17th centuries, the town was ruled by the Piast dynasty as fiefs of the Bohemian Crown within the Holy Roman Empire. Later, as the result of the Silesian Wars, the town became Prussian. After the border shifts of 1945, the town´s German populace was expelled and the town became part of Poland." - (en.wikipedia.org 22.05.2022) - Latitude
