Brody (, (ドイツ語:Pförten)) is a village in Żary County, Lubusz Voivodeship, in western Poland, close to the German border. It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Brody.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Central Statistical Office (GUS) - TERYT (National Register of Territorial Land Apportionment Journal) )〕 It lies approximately north-west of Żary and west of Zielona Góra. The village has a population of 1,070. The village in the historic Lower Lusatia region passed from the Kingdom of Bohemia to the Electorate of Saxony by the 1635 Peace of Prague. From 1740 it was a possession of the Saxon statesman Heinrich von Brühl, who had an extended Baroque palace built, where he received Elector Frederick Augustus II of Wettin and kept his famous Meissen ''Schwanenservice'' tableware of more than 2.000 pieces designed by Johann Joachim Kaendler. The palace was devastated by Prussian troops by the explicit command of King Frederick II of Hohenzollern during the Seven Years' War. By the Final Act of the Vienna Congress in 1815 Pförten with Lower Lusatia fell to Prussia and before 1945 the area was part of Germany (see ''Territorial changes of Poland after World War II''). 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. The Brühl Palace, again ravaged by the Red Army, has in parts been rebuilt. ==Notable people== * Carl von Brühl (1772–1837) * Hermann Ulrici (1806-1884), philosopher * Friedrich-August Graf von Brühl (1913–1981), Wehrmacht officer 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brody, Żary County」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
