geography

Lona-Lany is about ten kilometers west of the district town Gliwice ( Gleiwitz ) and 34 kilometers west of the voivodeship capital Katowice ( Kattowitz ).

history

The originally two independent places emerged no later than the 13th century and were first mentioned in a document at the end of the 13th century. 1295-1305 three places were mentioned in the Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis ( tithe register of the diocese of Wroclaw ) with the name "Lana". They were differentiated as Lana Virbece, Lana Colende and Lana Stesconis. The places Lona and Lany, which are united today, and Lohnia are assigned to these mentions . The name is derived from the words Lahn (area measure) or fiefdom.

The two places were mentioned in 1783 in the book Beytrage to describe Silesia as Lohna and Lany and were located in the Tost district . Lany had a farm, a school, 13 farmers and 20 gardeners. Lohna belonged to a woman Countess von Chorinsky, had a farm, six farmers and two other houses. Both places had a total of 249 inhabitants. In 1818 the places were mentioned as Lany and Lohnau . In 1865 the two villages Lona and Lany already formed a rural community. There was also a manor with three outworks, including a mountain sheep farm and Carlowitz. At that time, the two villages had 17 farms, 25 gardeners and 21 cottagers. The school had 102 students.

In the referendum in Upper Silesia on March 20, 1921, 124 eligible voters voted for Upper Silesia to remain with Germany and 273 for membership in Poland. Lona-Lany remained with the German Empire after the division of Upper Silesia . On February 12, 1936, the place was renamed Wieshuben in the wake of a wave of renaming during the Nazi era . Until 1945 the place was in the district of Tost-Gleiwitz .

In 1945 the previously German town came under Polish administration and was then attached to the Silesian Voivodeship and renamed the Polish Łany Wielkie . In 1950 the place came to the Katowice Voivodeship . In 1999 the place came to the re-established Powiat Gliwicki and the new Silesian Voivodeship. In October 2014, the place was also given the official German place name Lona-Lany .
