History
The village could have existed before 1258.
After World War I in the Upper Silesia plebiscite 260 out of 393 voters in Stodoły voted in favour of joining Poland, against 131 opting for staying in Germany.[2] Nevertheless it stayed a part of Germany, on the border with Poland. It was renamed as "Hochlinden" after campaign of cleansing "Non-German" place names in 1936.[citation needed] It was a place of a Nazi false flag operation (as part of Operation Himmler) on August 31, 1939.[3][4][5] After the war it became a part of Poland.
