Zawonia [zaˈvɔɲa] (German: Schawoine, 1936-45 Blüchertal) is a village in Trzebnica County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] It is the seat of the administrative district (gmina) called Gmina Zawonia. It lies approximately 10 kilometres (6 mi) east of Trzebnica, and 24 kilometres (15 mi) north-east 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.
