history
The place was first mentioned in 1333 as Alczenow . In 1344 the place was mentioned as Alzenow . The place name is derived from the name of the founder, the village of Altmann . This name has become illegible over the centuries due to sound shifts.
Alzenau was part of the Duchy of Brieg and came under the rule of Bohemia in 1329 and only fell to Habsburg in 1675 with the extinction of the Brieger Piasts . After the First Silesian War in 1742, Alzenau and most of Silesia fell to Prussia .
After the reorganization of the province of Silesia , the rural community Alzenau belonged to the district of Brieg in the administrative district of Breslau from 1818 . In 1845 there was a castle and another 76 houses in the village. In the same year 376 people lived in Alzenau, 24 of them Catholic. In 1847 Alzenau was connected to the railway line between Brieg and Bösdorf , which from 1848 led to Neisse . In 1874 the district of Alzenau was founded. The first head of office was the police administrator Lorentz from Alzenau. In 1885 402 people lived in Alzenau.
In 1933 and 1939, 427 people lived in Alzenau. Until 1945 the village belonged to the district of Brieg .
The street village of Alzenau grew together with the eastern town of Pogarell, but both formed independent communities. As a result of the Second World War, Alzenau fell under Polish administration in 1945, like most of Silesia . Subsequently, the place was renamed Olszanka and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. In 1950 it was incorporated into the Opole Voivodeship. In 1999, the place came to the newly founded Powiat Breszki ( Brieg district ).
