The Lower Silesian District,[a] also designated as the 2nd District,[b] was a district that acted as a provisional administrative division of Poland, during the administration of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Poland in 1945, and the Provisional Government of National Unity from 1945 to 1946.[1][2] It was centered around the area of the Lower Silesia. It was established as one of four provisional districts on 14 March 1945.[1][3] On 25 September 1945, the territories near its northern border were incorporated into the Poznań Voivodeship.[4] It existed until 28 June 1946, when it was abolished and replaced with the Wrocław Voivodeship.[2] The head of the district was the attorney-in-fact Stanisław Piaskowski.[1]
