history

Already in the 13th century the sand pen in Breslau received a tithe from the village of Kostellitz and since 1394 the existence of its own parish with the pastor Stencla Czambor has been proven. For the year 1250 the village name is Otholici handed down in 1372, the name appears Cothelicz on.

Originally, the village was part of the Duchy of Opole , which broke away from Poland in 1327, became a Bohemian fief and fell to Habsburg in 1532 . In 1742 Kostellitz and most of Silesia were assigned to Prussia and in 1816 to the district of Rosenberg OS . The rural community Kostellitz belonged to the district of Bischdorf. A typhus epidemic in 1847 killed 43 residents. In the agricultural Kostellitz, which came into the possession of King Friedrich Wilhelm IV in 1853 , a first brick school was built in 1844, in 1924 it received a first telephone in the forester's house and in 1925 electricity.

In the course of the National Socialist renaming of the place, the place name Kostellitz, which sounded too Slavic to the new rulers, was changed to Hedwigstein in 1936 . On January 19, 1945 Kostellitz was reached by the Red Army and placed under Polish administration, which gave the place the name Kościeliska . In 1973 the Gromada Kostellitz was dissolved and joined the new municipality of Radlau .

Since not all German residents were expelled after the Second World War, a German minority was able to survive in the area . In accordance with the Polish minority law of 2005, the municipality of Radlau, to which Kostellitz is a member of the Schulzenamt, became officially bilingual in 2006 and introduced bilingual place names in 2007.
