history
The village was first mentioned in a document in 1339. After the First Silesian War in 1742, Wyssoka fell with most of Silesia to Prussia .
After the reorganization of the province of Silesia , the rural community Wyssoka belonged to the district of Rosenberg OS in the administrative district of Opole from 1816 . In 1845 there was a Catholic parish church, a Catholic school and 112 houses in the village. In the same year 737 people lived in Wyssoka, seven of them Protestant and four Jewish. The hamlets of Benski, Dobiatz, Grodzisko and Kamin belonged to Wyssoka at that time. In 1855 the village numbered 738 people. In 1874 the district of Wachowitz was founded, which consisted of the rural communities Wachowitz and Wyssoka and the manor districts of Wyssoka and Wyssoka, combing forest. In 1885 Wyssoka had 564 inhabitants.
In the referendum in Upper Silesia on March 20, 1921, 109 people eligible to vote in town voted for Upper Silesia to remain with Germany and 299 for membership of Poland. Wyssoka remained with the German Reich after the division of Upper Silesia . In 1925 Wyssoka had 700 and 1933 714 inhabitants. On April 27, 1936, the place was renamed Lindenhöhe OS in the course of a wave of renaming during the Nazi era . On April 1, 1939, the villages of Rosenhain and Schönwald were incorporated into the rural community of Lindenhöhe OS. The rural community counted 1724 inhabitants in 1939. Until 1945 the place was in the district of Rosenberg .
In 1945 the formerly German town came under Polish administration and was then attached to the Silesian Voivodeship and renamed the Polish Wysoka . In 1950 the place came to the Opole Voivodeship and in 1975 to the Czestochowa Voivodeship. In 1999 the place came to the re-established Powiat Oleski and again to the Opole Voivodeship.
