Wróblin [ˈvrublin], additional name in German: Fröbel,[1] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Głogówek, within Prudnik County, Opole Voivodeship, in southern Poland,[2] close to the Czech border.
History
The earliest record of the village comes from 1175.[3] The name is of Polish origin, and comes from the word wróbel, which means "sparrow". In the past, it was known in Polish as Wróblin and Wróblina.[4]
In the 1970s, a parish music orchestra was established, which includes the only rural symphony orchestra in Poland.[3]
Since 2009, in addition to the official Polish language, German has also been recognized as an additional secondary language.[5]
