history

The place was founded as a colony around 1780 as part of the Frederician colonization. Mainly Hussites were settled. In 1782 the colony was given the name Sacken (possibly in honor of the Prussian minister, Prince Carl von der Osten-Sacken ). The colonists lived mainly from forest management. The place was mentioned in 1784 in the book Entries describing Silesia as Saken , belonged to the Kupp office , was in the Opole district and had 40 colonist positions.

After the reorganization of the province of Silesia , the rural municipality belonged Sacken from 1816 to district Opole in the administrative district of Opole . In 1845 there was an evangelical school, a forest warden and 62 other houses in the village. In the same year 610 people lived in Sacken, 68 of them Catholic. In 1865, Sacken had 40 colonists and 24 local residents who spoke Czech, German and Polish. In 1874 the district of Alt Poppelau was founded, which consisted of the rural communities Alt Poppelau, Poppelau Kolonie and Sacken and the manor district of Poppelau.

In the referendum in Upper Silesia on March 20, 1921, 687 eligible voters voted for Upper Silesia to remain with Germany and three for membership in Poland. After the partition of Upper Silesia, Sacken remained with the German Empire . Until 1945 the place was in the district of Opole .

In 1945 the previously German place came under Polish administration, was then attached to the Silesian Voivodeship and was given the Polish place name Lubienia . The district of Opole was renamed Powiat Opolski. In 1950 the place came to the Opole Voivodeship . In 1975 the Powiat Opolski was dissolved. In 1999 the place came to the re-established Powiat Opolski . On September 30, 2014, the place was also given the official German place name Sacken .
