Patoka [paˈtɔka] (German: Pohlswinkel) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Gromadka, within Bolesławiec County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] 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.
It lies approximately 5 km (3 mi) east of Gromadka, 21 km (13 mi) north-east of Bolesławiec, and 89 km (55 mi) west of the regional capital Wrocław.
