## About

Głogówek is a historic town on the Osobłoga in Poland's Opole Voivodeship. Its old market square and castle reflect its Silesian past.

## Notes

Oberglogau is both historical and a minority-language name, not simply an erroneous substitute for modern Głogówek. Early mentions are sometimes confused with Głogów, so no early foundation date is asserted.
