As a part of the Bohemian kingdom , the remaining half of the Ścinawa lands fell to Duke Henry V of Iron at Żagań in 1365 and in 1397 was acquired by Duke Konrad II the Gray of Oleśnica . Under the rule of Duke Frederick II of Legnica , Ścinawa became part of the united duchies of Wołów and Brzeg in 1528 . With the Lands of the Bohemian Crown , Ścinawa since 1526 belonged to the Habsburg Monarchy . It was heavily devastated during the Thirty Years ' War , when in October 1633 Albrecht von Wallenstein 's troops nearby routed a Swedish corps under Jindřich Matyáš Thurn . Upon the death of the last Piast duke George William in 1675 , his lands fell to the House of Habsburg as reverted fiefs . With most of Silesia , Ścinawa was annexed by Prussia in 1742 and became part of the German Empire in 1871 . Fiercely embattled between the Red Army and the Wehrmacht in the last days of World War II , the town to a great extent lay in ruins after 1945 .
