Iwiny [iˈvinɨ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Warta Bolesławiecka, within Bolesławiec County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 4 km (2 mi) east of Warta Bolesławiecka, 12 km (7 mi) south-east of Bolesławiec, and 93 km (58 mi) west of the regional capital Wrocław.
Prior to 1945 the village was in Germany and was known as Mittlau. After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration by the Potsdam Agreement under territorial changes demanded by the Soviet Union. Most Germans fled or were expelled and replaced with Poles expelled from the Polish areas annexed by the Soviet Union.
