Róża [ˈruʐa] (German: Rose)[2] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Biała, within Prudnik County, Opole Voivodeship, south-western Poland.[3] It is situated in the historical region of Prudnik Land.[4]
Etymology
The village was known as Rose in German.[2] Following the Second World War, the Polish name Róża was introduced by the Commission for the Determination of Place Names on 1 October 1948.[5]
History
Until 1742, the village was a part of Głogówek County (circulus superioris Glogoviae) in the Habsburg Empire.[6] After the First Silesian War, it was annexed by the Kingdom of Prussia was incorporated into Prudnik County (Großkreis Neustadt).[7]
Only a portion of Prudnik County participated in the 1921 Upper Silesia plebiscite, which was supposed to determine ownership of the Province of Upper Silesia between Germany and Poland. Róża found itself in the eastern part of the county, within the plebiscite area.[8] In the end, the area of Prudnik, along with Róża, remained in Germany.[9]
Following the Second World War, from March to May 1945, Prudnik County was controlled by the Soviet military commandant's office. On 11 May 1945, it was passed on to the Polish administration.[10]
