## Notes

Empty input Wikidata resolved to Q986091. German Gnadenfrei originally names the Moravian settlement and later the merged locality; earlier Ober-Peilau and Ober Mittel Peilau need historical boundary context. Municipal history confirms the Moravian link. https://www.pilawagorna.pl/asp/historia-miasta,19 Sources checked 2026-11-15: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piława\_Górna ; https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piława\_Górna.
