history
A wooden church is said to have stood in Dembio as early as 1070. The place was first mentioned in 1297 as Dobredambe . In the meantime the place was named Rychenwalt, Richtinwalde and Reichenwald.
In 1618 a stone church was built using local materials - there was a basalt quarry near the village . In the Thirty Years' War not only was the village devastated, almost the entire population also fell victim to it. As a result, the parish Dembio was dissolved and Dembio parish in Raschau. A parish was not established again until 1867.
In 1906 the parish church burned down. Between 1909 and 1910 a new, neo-baroque church was built.
In the referendum on March 20, 1921, 350 eligible voters voted to remain with Germany and 84 for Poland. Dembio stayed with the Weimar Republic . In 1933 there were 602 inhabitants in Dembio.
From 1933, the new National Socialist rulers carried out large-scale renaming of place names of Slavic origin. On May 19, 1936, the place was renamed Reichenwald based on the old place name . In 1939 Reichenwald had 618 inhabitants.
In 1945 the place came under Polish administration and was renamed Dębie . In 1950 Dembio came to the Opole Voivodeship and in 1999 to the re-established Powiat Opolski . On January 25, 2006 , German was introduced as the second official language in the Chronstau community , to which Dembio belongs. In May 2008, the place was also given the official German place name Dembio .
