history

In 1217 a place called "Lesnicia" was first mentioned in a document, which is probably Leschnig, or possibly Leschnitz near Groß Strehlitz. In this document Casimir , Duke of Opole, on the advice of Bishop Lorenz and others, gave freedom to the village. Another documentary mention followed in 1388. In 1388, the Piast Duke Ladislaus von Opole gave the town of Leschnig and other towns to the Paulines, whom he settled in Mochau in the same year and built a monastery for them. In 1649 the plague hit the village. In 1865 the place was part of the community of Wiese-Pauliner.

In the referendum in Upper Silesia on March 20, 1921, 90 eligible voters voted to remain in Germany and 16 to belong to Poland. Leschnig stayed with the German Empire . In 1933 there were 159 inhabitants. On July 21, 1936, the place was renamed Hegerswalde . In 1939 the place had 148 inhabitants. Until 1945 the place was in the district of Neustadt OS

In 1945 the previously German place came under Polish administration and was renamed Leśnik and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. In 1950 the place came to the Opole Voivodeship and since 1999 it has belonged to the powiat Prudnicki . On April 22, 2009 , German was introduced as the second official language in the municipality of Oberglogau , to which Leschnig belongs. On December 1, 2009, the place was also given the official German place name Leschnig .
