Dębieńsko (German:Dubensko) is adzielnica (district) ofCzerwionka-Leszczyny,Silesian Voivodeship, southernPoland.[1] It was an independent village, but became administratively part of Leszczyny in 1977,[2] renamed to Czerwionka-Leszczyny in 1992.[3] It has an area of 15,01 km2.[1]
Historically Dębieńsko was subdivided into two municipalities:
It is one of the oldest settlement in the area, Czerwionka,Leszczyny, Ciosek andOrnontowice were established within Dębieńsko's original borders.
The village was first mentioned in 1306. It became a seat of a Catholicparish inŻorydeanery inDiocese of Wrocław, mentioned in 1335 asDambin in an incomplete register ofPeter's Pence payment, composed byGalhard de Carceribus.[4]
Politically the village belonged then to theDuchy of Racibórz, withinfeudally fragmented Poland. In 1327 the duchy became afee of theKingdom of Bohemia, which after 1526 became part of theHabsburg monarchy. AfterSilesian Wars it became a part of theKingdom of Prussia, and in 1871 it became part ofGermany.
AfterWorld War I in theUpper Silesia plebiscite 461 out of 586 voters in Stare Dębieńsko (Alt Dubensko) voted in favour of rejoining Poland which just regained independence, against 125 for Germany, whereas in Dębieńsko Wielkie (Gross Dubensko, manor goods) it was 85 out of 116 against 31.[5] The village became a part ofautonomous Silesian Voivodeship inSecond Polish Republic.
Following the joint German-Sovietinvasion of Poland, which startedWorld War II in September 1939, it wasannexed byNazi Germany. During theoccupation, the German Nazi government operated the E324forced labour subcamp of theStalag VIII-B/344prisoner-of-war camp in the village.[6] After the war it was restored to Poland.
In years 1945-1954 Dębieńsko Stare together with Dębieńsko Wielkie formed a gmina. In 1973 the gmina was not re-established, instead Dębieńsko became till 1977 a part ofgmina Ornontowice, after which it was absorbed by Leszczyny (later renamed to Czerwionka-Leszczyny).
