Bytom Odrzański (German: Beuthen an der Oder) is a town on the Oder river in western Poland now, in Nowa Sól County of Lubusz Voivodeship. It became part of the emerging Polish state in the 10th century. The settlement itself was granted German town law in 1263 and subsequently experienced arrival of immigrants during the Ostsiedlung. Bytom remained under the rule of the Piast dynasty until 1504. Then it was integrated with the Jagiellonian-ruled Bohemian (Czech) Kingdom, and after 1526, together with Bohemia, it came under the authority of the House of Habsburg. The town was raised to the status of a state country by decree of Emperor Leopold I of Habsburg in 1697. Frederick II of Prussia seized Silesia in the 1740s. Between 1766 and 1884 it was a Prussian garrison town. From 1871 to 1945 it was part of Germany. In 1945 around 40% of the town was destroyed. Beuthen, along with the bulk of Lower Silesia, passed to Poland in accordance with the Potsdam Agreement. The town was renamed to Bytom Odrzański to distinguish it from Bytom in Upper Silesia.
