Bielanka [bjɛˈlaŋka] (German: Lauterseiffen) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Lwówek Śląski, within Lwówek Śląski County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] Prior to 1945 it was in Germany. After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration and ethnically cleansed according to the post-war Potsdam Agreement. The native German populace was expelled and replaced with Poles.
It lies approximately 8 kilometres (5 mi) east of Lwówek Śląski, and 95 kilometres (59 mi) west of the regional capital Wrocław.
