Wędrzyn [ˈvɛndʐɨn] (German: Wandern) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Sulęcin, within Sulęcin County, Lubusz Voivodeship, in western Poland.[1]
The oldest known mention of the village comes from 1322 when local Polish Duke Henry IV the Faithful of the Piast dynasty granted it to the Knights Hospitaller.[2] Later on, the village fell to Brandenburg, the Czech Crown, Prussia and Germany in 1871, before being reintegrated with Poland after the World War II in 1945. In the 1930s, a military training ground was built nearby.[2]
