Other forms in use:

- **Knurow** — Diacritic-free rendering of the Polish name, used where Polish letters are unavailable; not the official spelling. Historical German name, used in English accounts of the town before 1945 and in historical or family records; not the current official name.

## French name

**Knurów** — Same current Polish spelling as in English; no separate French exonym is selected.

Other forms in use:

- **Knurow** — Accent-stripped form also encountered in French indexes and travel searches; the Polish spelling is preferred in edited French. German historical name retained in French writing about the former German town and in references to German sources.

## About

Knurów is a town in Silesian Voivodeship near Gliwice. Coal mining is central to its modern development.

## Notes

The historical German form happens to coincide with the diacritic-free Polish spelling; the two explanations are retained under one string.
