history

St. Andrew's Church

The village of Camik was suspended under German law in 1291. In the work Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis from the years 1295-1305, the place is mentioned as Camyk Arida . The place name Kemenik has been handed down for the year 1369 .

After the First Silesian War in 1742, Kamnig and most of Silesia fell to Prussia .

After the reorganization of the province of Silesia , the rural community of Kamnig belonged to the district of Grottkau in the administrative district of Opole from 1816 . In 1845 there was a Catholic parish church, a Catholic school, a distillery, an outbuilding, a castle and 117 other houses in the village. In the same year 651 people lived in Kamnig, 16 of them Protestants. In 1855 791 people lived in Kamnig. In 1865 there were 22 farms, 28 gardeners and 34 cottagers in the village. The two-class school was attended by 282 students in the same year. In 1874 the district of Kamnig was founded, which consisted of the rural communities Kamnig, Schützendorf and Tscheschdorf and the manor districts Kamnig (Dominiale), Kamnig (knightly Scholtisei), Schützendorf and Tscheschdorf. In 1885 Kamnig had 767 inhabitants.

In 1933 there were 663 people in Kamnig. On July 22, 1936, the place was renamed Steinhaus in the wake of a wave of renaming during the Nazi era . In 1939 Steinhaus had 640 inhabitants. Until the end of the war in 1945, the place belonged to the district of Grottkau .

As a result of the Second World War, Steinhaus, like most of Silesia, came under Polish administration in 1945 . It was subsequently renamed Kamiennik and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. The German population was largely expelled . In 1950 it was incorporated into the Opole Voivodeship. In 1999 the place came to the re-established Powiat Nyski.
