Rzeszówek [ʐɛˈʂuvɛk] (German: Reichwaldau) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Świerzawa, within Złotoryja County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] Prior to 1945 it was in Germany. After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration and ethnically cleansed according to the post-war Potsdam Agreement. The native German populace was expelled and replaced with Poles. It lies approximately 3 kilometres (2 mi) east of Świerzawa, 13 km (8 mi) south of Złotoryja, and 79 km (49 mi) west of the regional capital Wrocław.
