The first documented mention of "Coprnih" is for the year 1272. It was founded under German law in the middle of the 13th century and listed in 1284 as "Copirnich" in a directory of the 65 large German villages of the Principality of Neisse , which had gained sovereignty in 1290. For the year 1310, 53 small hooves and a scholtisei with eight hooves are recorded in "Copirnik" . The knight Konrad Rydenburk also owned four Hufen and the tavern. In 1342 it came together with the principality of Neisse under Bishop Preczlaw von Pogarell as a fiefdom to the Crown of Bohemia , which the Habsburgs held from 1526. In 1425 "Cappirnik" consisted of 54 hooves and the Scholtisei with six hooves. The population remained almost entirely Catholic even after the Reformation .

After the First Silesian War in 1742, Köppernig and most of the Principality of Neisse fell to Prussia .

In 1813 a Russian guard officer who was wounded in the battle of Bautzen and died in nearby Grunau was buried in the local cemetery . After the reorganization of the province of Silesia which belonged rural community Köppernig from 1816 to district Neisse in the administrative district of Opole . In 1845 there was a chapel, a Catholic school and 105 other houses in the village. In the same year 736 people lived in Köppernig, four of them Protestants. In 1855 there were 763 people living in the village. In 1865 the place had a Scholtisei, 30 farms, 19 gardeners and 33 cottagers. In 1874 the administrative district of Köppernig was founded, which consisted of the rural communities Deutsch Kamitz and Heidau and the manor district Deutsch Kamitz. In 1885 Köppernig had 771 inhabitants.

In 1912 Köppernig received a rail connection on the Neisse– Weidenau line from Neisser Kreisbahn AG . In 1933 there were 678 people in Köppernig, and in 1939 there were 679 people. Until 1945 the place was in the district of Neisse .

After the Second World War , the village was placed under Polish administration as Koperniki and the remaining German population was expelled. In their place came Polish displaced persons and settlers from Wiktorówka ( Tarnopol Voivodeship ) and Jeleśnia . In 1950 Koperniki came to the Opole Voivodeship. In 1999 the place came to the re-established Powiat Nyski within the urban and rural municipality of Nysa.

Personalities

Especially in the literature on the history of Silesia it is assumed that the stonemason Nicolaus Koppirnig , great-grandfather of Nicolaus Copernicus (actually Niklas Koppernigk ) came from Köppernig. Leopold Prowe and Maximilian Curtze contradict this . They are of the opinion that this comes from Köpprich in the county of Glatz, which until 1763 belonged directly to Bohemia .

  12. ↑ 1. Documents in which the name Koppernigk appears in any form are not exactly rare before the astronomer was born; however, not all refer to ancestors of the same. The first members of the Thorner Koppernigk family, which can be proven in Thorn as early as 1400, come from the village of Koppernick / Köpprich in the county of Glatz ; the later members of the same, especially the astronomer's father, immigrated to Thorn from Cracow. The probability cannot be denied that these Koppernigk's are related to those who first immigrated to Thorn (around 1400) and that they also immigrated from Köpprich to Krakow. Those Copirnik's that come from the village of Kopernik near Neisse do not appear at all written with a double-p. - Maximilian Curtze , in Nicolaus Coppernicus from Thorn on the circular movements of the world .
