Kłodnica ( German Klodnitz ) is a district of the city of Kędzierzyn-Koźle and belongs to the powiat Kędzierzyńsko-Kozielski in the Opole Voivodeship , Poland . The previously independent town merged in 1975 with the industrial towns of Kędzierzyn and Sławięcice on the right bank of the Oder and the Klodnitz and the old town of Koźle on the left of the Oder to form one town of Kędzierzyn-Koźle.

history

The village of Klodnitz was first mentioned in 1532, two kilometers east of Cosel, north of the Klodnitz before it flows into the Oder .

With the construction of the Klodnitz Canal , the first canal lock in Klodnitz became the transshipment point for shipping on the Oder. In 1924 the place Cosel-Oderhafen was incorporated into Klodnitz. The second largest inland port in the German Empire was now located in the community, and it was expanded to become the estuary of the Gliwice Canal . Klodnitz became the seat of a port authority, shipping companies were based here. With the development of Kandrzin into a location for the chemical industry, apartments were created in Klodnitz for the employees there.

In 1945 the place fell to Poland as Kłodnica . In 1973 the municipality of Kłodnica received town charter, only two years later to be incorporated into the new town of Kędzierzyn-Koźle.
