Stare Kotkowice [ˈstarɛ kɔtkɔˈvit͡sɛ], additional name in German: Alt Kuttendorf,[1] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Głogówek, within Prudnik County, Opole Voivodeship, in southern Poland, close to the Czech border.[2]
History
There are Neolithic archaeological sites in Stare Kotkowice.[3]
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.[3] 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.[3]
Since 2009, in addition to the official Polish language, German has also been recognized as an additional secondary language.[4]
