Lubrza [ˈlubʐa] (German: Leuber)[1] is a village in Prudnik County, Opole Voivodeship, in southern Poland, close to the Czech border.[2] It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Lubrza. It had a population of 965 in December 2013.
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.[3]
