Leśnica (Polish pronunciation: [lɛɕˈɲit͡sa], German: Lissa[a], [ˈlɪsa]) is a district in Wrocław located in the western part of the city. It was established in the territory of the former Fabryczna district.
The settlement was incorporated into Breslau (today's Wrocław) in 1928.[2]
Name
In a medieval document written in Latin and issued in Wrocław in 1266, which was signed by Silesian Duke Henry III the White, the village is listed under the name Lesnitz.[3]
Since the German name Lissa was also carried by Leszno, Leśnica was referred to as Deutsch Lissa as opposed to Polnisch Lissa.[2]
History
Leśnica was granted a town charter in 1261, which was degraded before 1700.[4]
In 1991, after reforms in the administrative division of Wrocław, Leśnica became one of the city's 48 districts.[5]
Notes
- ^ Also called Deutsch Lissa as opposed to Polnisch Lissa.
