# Dzierżoniów

A settlement in Poland.

## English name

**Dzierżoniów** — Polish Latin-script name used in English; the native spelling is retained rather than retransliterating the Ukrainian input label.

Other forms in use:

- **Reichenbach** — German historical name; ambiguous without a Silesian context.
- **Reichenbach im Eulengebirge** — Full German historical designation distinguishing other towns named Reichenbach.
- **Rychbach** — Earlier Polish form, before adoption of Dzierżoniów in 1946.
- **Dzierzoniow** — Spelling without native diacritics, used in English plain-text indexes and international search; not a separate exonym.

## French name

**Dzierżoniów** — Same spelling as in English; French references retain the local Latin-script name, without a fixed article.

Other forms in use:

- **Reichenbach** — Historical name used in French accounts of the Silesian town and the Reichenbach conventions.
- **Reichenbach im Eulengebirge** — Full German historical designation in French historical references.
- **Dzierzoniow** — French plain-text and search variant without native diacritics; the main form keeps the local spelling.

## About

Dzierżoniów is a town in Lower Silesia near the Owl Mountains. Its old centre preserves medieval walls, while its modern industrial history includes radio and electronics manufacture.

## Notes

Input label 'Дзержонюв' is Ukrainian or an indirect spelling; local\_name is restored to the native-language form. Wikidata ID missing in input, supplied after checking https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q778251 and the town article link.
