# Bieruń

A settlement in Poland.

## English name

**Bieruń** — Polish official Latin-script name, retained in English in its native spelling.

Other forms in use:

- **Berun** — German historical name used in English archival references.
- **Alt Berun** — Historical German name for the old town component; not an exact synonym for every part of present-day Bieruń.
- **Bieruń Stary** — Polish name for the old town component, often encountered in local-history writing.
- **Bieruń Nowy** — Polish name for the newer component; a district name rather than a full synonym.
- **Neu Berun** — Historical German name of the newer component, not the whole modern town.
- **Bierun** — Diacritic-free search spelling of the native name; not a separate official name.

## French name

**Bieruń** — Same as in English; retain this spelling in French. No separate French exonym is selected.

Other forms in use:

- **Berun** — German historical name used in French historical geography.
- **Alt Berun** — Former name of the old component, quoted in French historical sources; narrower than the present municipality.
- **Bierun** — Accent-free search form for French keyboards and older indexes; preserve the native letters in edited French.

## About

Bieruń is a town in Silesian Voivodeship southeast of Katowice. Its old centre and newer industrial districts reflect the growth of the Upper Silesian coalfield.

## Notes

Old and new Bieruń are component names, not interchangeable names for the whole modern town. Input label is Ukrainian or indirect; local\_name gives the native spelling.
