history
Gemelnici , which belongs to the Duchy of Opole , was first mentioned in a document on November 29, 1225, when it was suspended under German law. In 1280 Boleslaus I of Opole founded the Cistercian monastery Himmelwitz , which was settled with monks from the monastery Rauden . The All Saints Church is documented for the year 1285 and served as a parish church until 1810.
After the death of Duke Boleslaus I in 1313, Himmelwitz passed to his youngest son Albert , who founded the Duchy of Strehlitz . Like his two older brothers, Duke Albert came under the Bohemian feudal sovereignty in 1327, which was recognized by the Polish king with the Treaty of Trenčín in 1335 . After the death of Duke Albert, who (after 1366 and before 1375) died without male descendants, the direct line of the Dukes of Strehlitz ended. As a result, Himmelwitz fell to his nephew Bolko III. from Opole . After the death of the childless Duke Johann in 1532, this reverted to the Crown of Bohemia , which came to the Habsburgs in 1526 .
After the First Silesian War in 1742, Himmelwitz, along with most of Silesia, fell to Prussia . With the monastic Latin school opened around 1750 , its pupils received access to higher education. In 1810 the monastery was abolished by the Prussian state government as part of secularization . The All Saints Church, which had previously served as a parish church, was designated as a burial and cemetery church and the monastery church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary as the parish church for Himmelwitz.
In 1818 Himmelwitz was incorporated into the newly formed district of Groß Strehlitz , with which it remained connected until 1945. In 1826 the former monastery property was sold to Count Andreas Maria Renard on Groß Strehlitz. From 1874 Himmelwitz belonged to the district of Groß Strehlitz-Land.
In the referendum in Upper Silesia on March 20, 1921, 240 votes were cast in Himmelwitz for remaining with Germany and 749 for Poland. In the manor district there were 23 votes for Germany and 39 for Poland. As part of the Groß Strehlitz district, Himmelwitz remained with Germany.
After the end of the Second World War , Himmelwitz fell to Poland in 1945. As early as January 1945 it was occupied by the Red Army, whereupon the provisional Polish administration introduced the place name Imielnica on April 21, 1945 . Subsequently Imielnica was attached to the Silesian Voivodeship and renamed Jemielnica on March 30, 1947 . In 1950 it was incorporated into the Opole Voivodeship .
On August 28, 2006 German was introduced as the second official language and on November 14, 2008 German place names were introduced. In October 2010 the bilingual place-name signs were put up in the community of Himmelwitz.
