Radnica (German Rädnitz ) is a village in western Poland and part of the urban and rural municipality Krosno Odrzańskie (formerly Crossen). The place has the shape of a street village and lies to the right of the Oder , about 2 km below the mouth of the Griesel river, about 10 km east-northeast of Crossen and about 25 km northwest of Grünberg . The Rädnitz train station is just under 3 km northeast of the village. Until 1945 the village belonged to the province of Brandenburg in the German Empire .

The village of Rädnitz was founded by German settlers in the 13th century and was mentioned in a document in 1435 as "Redenitz". A Slavic settlement may have existed in the vicinity well before the 13th century. A church was built in 1675 and renovated in 1827. In the Thirty Years War the village was extinct except for 7 people; In the middle of the 19th century the population was around 800. Around 1920 Rädnitz had around 1,350 to 1,400 inhabitants. The census of June 16, 1933 showed that, after the towns of Crossen and Sommerfeld, Rädnitz was the largest municipality in the Crossen district with 1,486 inhabitants . Towards the end of World War II , the timber-framed church went up in flames; the German population fled or was expelled shortly afterwards .

The rural life in Rädnitz and the events in the context of the Second World War were reflected in the published memories of a Berlin resident who temporarily lived with relatives in Rädnitz.
