The later German Leippe was founded around 1260 under German law. It was in the form of two spindle-shaped Angern applied to which farms anreihten. St. Martin's Church was first mentioned in 1315 and the place was mentioned as Lipoue . In 1343 "Lypow" was acquired by the city of Grottkau, with whom in 1344 it came to the clerical principality of Neisse . A scholtisei is documented for the year 1364 . In the 1370s it belonged to the Pogarell family . In 1425 "Leype" consisted of 30 hooves . Because of the destruction in the Hussite Wars , part of the district was desolate. In 1579 it was divided into three: one part each belonged to the Breslau bishop Kaspar von Logau , Kaspar von Bischofsheim and Franz Salusch (also Salisch ). At the beginning of the 17th century, only the latter two were owned by Leippe. As a result of the Reformation was in the visitation of the diocese of the country recorded 1,651 Leippe as evangelical in the parishes. The landowner Heinrich Skopp, whose subjects did not pay the tithing to the Catholic pastor, had expelled the Catholic pastor and replaced him with a Protestant. Anna von Bischofsheim, owner of an estate in Leippe, had refused the Breslau cathedral vicars the interest.

A school in the village is documented for 1733. After the First Silesian War in 1742, Deutsch Leippe and most of the Principality of Neisse fell to Prussia .

After the reorganization of the province of Silesia , the rural community Deutsch Leippe 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 brewery, a distillery and 61 other houses in the village. In the same year, 590 people lived in Deutsch Leippe, 24 of them Protestants. In 1855, 635 people lived in Deutsch-Leippe. In 1865 there were 27 farmers, two half-farmers, 21 gardeners and 18 cottagers in the village . The one-class Catholic school was attended by 118 students in the same year. In 1874 the district of Osseg was founded, which consists of the rural communities Deutsch Leippe, Osseg and Seiffersdorf b. Grottkau and the manor districts Deutsch Leippe (Lehn), Deutsch Leippe (Allodium), Osseg and Seiffersdorf b. Grottkau existed. In 1885 Deutsch-Leippe had 602 inhabitants.

In 1933 600 people lived in Deutsch Leippe and in 1939 there were again 599 people. Until the end of the war in 1945, the place belonged to the district of Grottkau .
