History
edit
The name of the village comes from the Polish word rąbać ("chop"), referring to chopping trees.[3] Its oldest form was Rąbyn.[3] In the Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis from around 1300 the village was mentioned under the Latinized name Rabysow.
Later on, the village was also part of Bohemia (Czechia), Prussia and Germany. During World War II, the Germans created and operated the E232 forced labour subcamp of the Stalag VIII-B/344 prisoner-of-war camp at the local quarry.[4] English, Yugoslav and French prisoners of war were held there.[5] In the final stages of World War II, in January–February 1945, in the Rębiszów forest, the Germans carried out executions of forced laborers and prisoners of war, who were caught trying to escape from German labor camps.[6]
Sports
editThe local football club is Skalnik Rębiszów.[7] It competes in the lower leagues.
