In the early twentieth century the city was the capital of the Prussian province of Lower Silesia. According to the author, it has had a chequered history. In 1241 it was destroyed by the Mongols, but it soon prospered again, and in 1335 was bought by John, king of Bohemia. In about 1466, it passed into the power of the Hungarian king, but in 1490 went back to Bohemia. Dermatologist J.
