history

St. George's Church

Atonement Cross

Kamienica was laid out as a forest hoof village in the second half of the 13th century and settled with German colonists. It was first mentioned in a document as "Kempnitz iuxta Paczkow" in 1310 in the Breslau tithe register Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis . Thus it belonged from the beginning to the Neiss diocese , in which from 1290 the bishops exercised both clerical and secular power. The village church was first mentioned in a document in 1326. Scholtisei , documented for the 14th century, belonged to the Patschkau family Runge. Under Bishop Preczlaw von Pogarell , Kamitz came in 1342 together with the principality of Neisse as a fiefdom to the Crown of Bohemia , which the Habsburgs held from 1526 in their capacity as kings of Bohemia. In 1425 it was mentioned as "Kempnycz prope Paczkow". Neu-Kamitz, mentioned in 1569, was probably the later Übersar-Kamitz to the south-west.

In the Thirty Years' War Kamitz was almost completely destroyed. There is evidence of a church clerk for 1666.

After the First Silesian War in 1742, Kamitz and most of Silesia came to Prussia .

After the secularization of the Principality of Neisse in 1810, the secular rule of the Breslau bishops ended. With the reorganization of Silesia in 1813, Kamitz, which until then belonged to the Wroclaw administrative district, was incorporated into the Upper Silesian administrative district of Opole . From 1816 it belonged to the newly established district of Neisse , with which it remained connected until 1945. In 1845 there was a Catholic church, a Catholic school, a sawmill, a brickworks, a farm and 285 other houses in the village. In the same year, 1549 people lived in Kamitz, five of them Protestants. In 1851 Kamitz became an independent parish. In 1855, 1558 people lived in Kamitz. In 1865 there were 74 farms, 47 gardeners and 83 cottages as well as two water mills, a sawmill, a distillery and two taverns. Together with the rural communities of Fuchswinkel , Gostitz and Kosel as well as the manor districts of the same name, Kamitz belonged to the Patschkau district from 1874 . In 1885 Kamitz had 1,458 inhabitants.

In 1933, 1206 people lived in the Kamitz. On August 18, 1936, the place was renamed Grenztal in the course of a wave of renaming during the Nazi era . In 1937 the following businesses were located in Kamitz: two bakers, a construction business, an electrician, two bicycle shops, two butchers, two inns, seven general stores, two mills, two blacksmiths, two tailors, six shoemakers, three wheelwright, three carpenters, a cattle dealer, an electricity cooperative and a savings and loan fund. In 1938 the place received a new school building. In 1939 Grenztal had 1165 inhabitants.

As a result of the Second World War , Grenztal fell to Poland in 1945, was initially renamed Kamieniec and became part of the Silesian Voivodeship. The German population was expelled . In 1947 it was renamed Kamienica . In 1950 it was incorporated into the Opole Voivodeship . 1999 saw the re-established Powiat Nyski .
