Hojnowice (German: Hoinowitz)[2] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Głogówek, within Prudnik County, Opole Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[3] It is situated in the historical region of Prudnik Land.[4] It lies approximately 8 km (5 mi) north-west of Głogówek, 19 km (12 mi) north-east of Prudnik, and 46 km (29 mi) south of the regional capital, Opole.
Geography
The village is located in the southern part of Opole Voivodeship, close to the Czech Republic–Poland border. It is situated in the historical Prudnik Land region, as well as in Upper Silesia. It lies in the Silesian Lowlands.[5] The National Register of Geographical Names for 2025 classified Hojnowice as a part (część wsi) of Mionów.[6]
Etymology
In the German times, the village's name was Hoinowitz. In 1936, Nazi administration of the German Reich changed the village's name to Reichenau.[2] Following the Second World War, the Polish name Hojnowice was introduced by the Commission for the Determination of Place Names on 1 October 1948.[7]
History
The village was established in the 16th century as a folwark.[8]. Until 1742, the village was a part of Głogówek County (circulus superioris Glogoviae) in the Habsburg Empire.[9] After the First Silesian War, it was annexed by the Kingdom of Prussia was incorporated into Prudnik County (Großkreis Neustadt).[10]
Only a portion of Prudnik County participated in the 1921 Upper Silesia plebiscite, which was supposed to determine ownership of the Province of Upper Silesia between Germany and Poland. Hojnowice found itself in the eastern part of the county, within the plebiscite area.[11] In the end, the area of Prudnik, along with Hojnowice, remained in Germany.[12]
Following the Second World War, from March to May 1945, Prudnik County was controlled by the Soviet military commandant's office. On 11 May 1945, it was passed on to the Polish administration.[13]
Transport
The local public transport buses were operated by PKS Prudnik.[14] Since 2021, public transit is organized by the PGZT "Pogranicze" corporation in Prudnik.[15]
