Kadłub [ˈkadwup] (German: Kadlub)[1] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Strzelce Opolskie, within Strzelce County, Opole Voivodeship, in southern Poland.[2]
History
In the 10th century the area became part of the emerging Polish state. Over the centuries it was under the rule of Poland, the Czech Crown, the Kingdom of Prussia, and Germany. In 1936, during a Nazi campaign aimed at erasing traces of Polish origin, the village was renamed Starenheim. During World War II, the German authorities operated the E297 forced labour subcamp of the Stalag VIII-B/344 prisoner-of-war camp in the village.[3]
Following Germany's defeat in 1945, Poland's border was moved westward and the village was reintegrated into Poland.[4]
