Wałbrzych (väl´bzhĬkh), Ger. Waldenburg, city (1992 est. pop. 141,300), Dolnośląskie prov., SW Poland. Coal mining, chemical production, metallurgy, and textile milling are the chief economic activity.

Wałbrzych sustained great damage during World War II, after which it passed from Germany to Poland.
