Dobromierz [dɔˈbrɔmjɛʂ] is a village-sized municipality in Świdnica County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] The municipality lies approximately 16 km (10 mi) north-west of Świdnica, and 61 km (38 mi) south-west of the regional capital Wrocław.
It is the main municipality and the seat of the administrative district (gmina) called Gmina Dobromierz.
First mentioned as Vrideberch in a 1307 deed, it received town privileges about 1409. The area was the site of Frederick the Great's victory at the Battle of Hohenfriedberg (Hohenfriedeberg), fought between Austria and Prussia on 4 June 1745, during the War of the Austrian Succession.
