Chełm [xɛu̯m] (German: Bartsch-Kulm) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Rudna, within Lubin County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 24 kilometres (15 mi) north-east of Lubin, and 68 kilometres (42 mi) north-west of the regional capital Wrocław.

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 by Poles.
