The village was first mentioned in 1424 as Lompnicza . The place name is derived from the Slavic term Lomny and means quarry place .

After the First Silesian War in 1742, Lomnitz fell with most of Silesia to Prussia . The place was mentioned in 1783 in the book Additions to the Description of Silesia as Lomni (t) z , belonged to a Count von Gesler and was in the Rosenberg district of the Principality of Opole . At that time it had 557 inhabitants, four manorial farms , a school, two mills, nine farmers, 52 gardeners and six cottagers.

After the reorganization of the province of Silesia , the rural community of Lomnitz belonged to the district of Rosenberg OS in the administrative district of Opole from 1816 . In 1845 there was a Catholic church, a Catholic school, a castle, a farm, a forestry, a brewery, a distillery and 124 houses in the village. In the same year, 811 people lived in Lomnitz, 17 of them Protestants and five Jewish. In 1855 the village had 915 inhabitants. In 1865 Lomnitz consisted of a dominion and a village. At that time, the village had 16 farmers, 35 gardeners, 12 vacant houses and 15 house trades, as well as a Catholic school, a Catholic church and two water mills. In 1874 the administrative district Schoffschütz was founded, which consisted of the rural communities Lomnitz, Schoffczütz and Tellsruh and the manor districts Lomnitz and Schoffczütz. In 1885 Lomnitz had 762 inhabitants.

In the referendum in Upper Silesia on March 20, 1921, 161 eligible voters voted for Upper Silesia to remain with Germany and 305 for membership in Poland.
