Stare Kotkowice [ˈstarɛ kɔtkɔˈvit͡sɛ] (German: Alt Kuttendorf) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Głogówek, within Prudnik County, Opole Voivodeship, in southern Poland, close to the Czech border.[1] It lies approximately 3 km (2 mi) east of Głogówek, 24 km (15 mi) east of Prudnik, and 37 km (23 mi) south of the regional capital Opole.
History
There are Neolithic archaeological sites in Stare Kotkowice.[2]
The earliest record of the village comes from a 13th-century act of donation by Duke Casimir I of Opole to the monastery in Czarnowąsy.[2] A document of Duke Bolko V the Hussite from 1430 noted a church in the village and a conflict between the parish priest from nearby Biedrzychowice and the villagers of Kotkowice.[2]
The suffix -dorf of the German name is typical for settlements founded by Germans during Medieval Ostsiedlung.[3]
Since 2009, in addition to the official Polish language, German has also been recognized as an additional secondary language.[4]
