Nieborowice [ɲɛbɔrɔˈvit͡sɛ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Pilchowice, within Gliwice County, Silesian Voivodeship, in southern Poland.[1]
The oldest known mention of the village dates back to 1407. Historically it was inhabited by Poles.[2] During World War II, in September 1939, Nieborowice was one of the sites of executions of Polish inhabitants by the Germans (see Nazi crimes against the Polish nation).[3] The Germans also established a transit camp for Polish prisoners of war, as well as Polish activists and former insurgents.[4]
There is a historic narrow-gauge railway station in the village.
