Because of its good climatic conditions, the village of Obernigk in the Katzengebirge, first mentioned in 1305, developed into a health resort in the 19th century . The landowner Karl Wolfgang Schaubert (a godfather of Karl von Holtei's son ) expanded it into a spa in 1835.

The place had already been made famous by the poet Karl von Holtei . Holtei, who lived here for a few years and also married here in 1821, described Obernigk in several poems. Holtei, who, according to his own verses, had lived in "a little house with a shingle roof and a fir tree" in Obernigk, was also the editor of the well-known Breslau weekly Der Obernigker Bote , which was only published from March 4 to September 1822 . A memorial in the village commemorates him.

In 1856 the place was connected to the railway by the line from Wroclaw to Poznan .

When cholera broke out in Breslau in 1866 , many residents fled to Obernigk.

At the beginning of the 20th century Obernigk was a village and climatic health resort with a Protestant church, a Catholic church, two private asylums , a sanatorium and a pine needle bath. The village was a popular resort for the citizens of Wroclaw and other townspeople from Lower Silesia.

Until the end of the Second World War Obernigk belonged to the district of Trebnitz in the administrative district of Breslau in the Prussian province of Silesia of the German Empire .

After the end of the war, Obernigk, like almost all of Silesia, was placed under Polish administration by the Soviet occupying power in the summer of 1945 . The Poles introduced the place name Oborniki Śląskie for Obernigk . In the following years the German population was expelled from Obernigk by the local Polish administrative authority . The village received city rights. The spa and recreational activities continue to this day.

Since 2004 there has been a town partnership with the Upper Franconian town of Rehau .
