geography
The street village of Dollna is about thirty kilometers southeast of Opole and six kilometers northeast of Leschnitz in historic Upper Silesia .
history
Dollna was first mentioned in 1302 as Dolna . Count Georg von Redern bought this village in 1615. In 1783 it was owned by Count Colonna. Even then, Dollna had a school that employed a teacher. She was also visited by the children from Sharnosin . In 1783 Dollna had 195 inhabitants. In 1817 Dollna belonged to the Baron von Gastheib. The number of inhabitants rose to 249. In 1845, Johann Georg Knie recorded 65 houses, a farm , an inn and a limestone quarry in Dollna . At that time there were 463 inhabitants. In addition, 25 hosts were registered in Dolna, which had been free since 1821. In 1861 Dollna had 548 inhabitants, in 1910 577 inhabitants, in 1939 563 inhabitants, and in 1996 388 inhabitants.
The first church in Dollna was mentioned as early as 1335. The current neo-Gothic church of St. Peter and Paul dates back to 1856. Old masonry from the 14th century has been preserved.
In the referendum in Upper Silesia on March 20, 1921, which was accompanied by conditions similar to civil war in the area , 151 people in Dollna voted to stay with Germany and 180 for Poland. Dollna remained with the German Empire like the entire district of Groß-Strehlitz.
From 1933, the new National Socialist rulers carried out large-scale renaming of place names of Slavic origin. In 1936 the place name Dollna was changed to Niederkirch .
In 1945 the place fell to Poland as Dolna .
In 2006, Gmina Leśnica , to which Dollna belongs as a district, introduced German as an auxiliary language and in 2008 bilingual place names.
Economy and Infrastructure
As in 1845, today you can find an inn, a church and a corner shop in Dollna . The former school building now houses the local kindergarten. The cemetery in Dollna is shared by the citizens of the neighboring village of Sharnosin. A lounge for the German minority now serves as a meeting place for young people and an event hall.
