Gaworzyce [ɡavɔˈʐɨt͡sɛ] (German: Oberquell; until 1937: Quaritz) is a village in Polkowice County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] It is the seat of the administrative district (gmina) called Gmina Gaworzyce. It lies approximately 20 kilometres (12 mi) north-west of Polkowice, and 98 kilometres (61 mi) north-west of the regional capital Wrocław.
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.
