Jasienica [jaɕɛˈnit͡sa] is a village and the seat of Gmina Jasienica, Bielsko County, Silesian Voivodeship, southern Poland. It is located in the Silesian Foothills and in the historical region of Cieszyn Silesia.

The Polish name is of topographic origins and is derived from ash trees (Polish: jesion, locally jasień).[1] German name Heinzendorf is a composition of a personal name Heinz and dorf (German: a village).

History

The village was first mentioned in a Latin document of

greater lans. The creation of the village was a part of a larger settlement campaign taking place in the late 13th century on the territory of what will be later known as Upper Silesia
.

The village belonged initially to the

fee of the Kingdom of Bohemia, which after 1526 became part of the Habsburg monarchy
.

The village became a seat of a Catholic parish, probably mentioned already in an incomplete register of Peter's Pence payment from 1335 as Hankendorf[5] and as such being one of the oldest in the region. It was (again?) mentioned in the register of Peter's Pence payment from 1447 among 50 parishes of Teschen deanery as Heyczendorff.[6]

After the 1540s

Protestant Reformation prevailed in the Duchy of Teschen and a local Catholic church was taken over by Lutherans. It was taken from them (as one from around fifty buildings) in the region by a special commission and given back to the Roman Catholic Church on 16 April 1654.[7]

After

Roman Catholics (47.1%) Jews (23 or 0.9%) and 16 adhering to yet another faith.[8] The village was also traditionally inhabited by Cieszyn Vlachs, speaking Cieszyn Silesian dialect
.

After World War I, fall of Austria-Hungary, Polish–Czechoslovak War and the division of Cieszyn Silesia in 1920, it became a part of Poland. It was then annexed by Nazi Germany at the beginning of World War II. After the war it was restored to Poland.
