Kłodnica is a district of Kędzierzyn-Koźle, Opole Voivodeship, Poland,[2] located in the western part of the city.
The name of the district is of Polish origin and comes from the word kłoda, which means "log".[3]
During the Third Silesian Uprising, on May 10, 1921, Polish insurgents captured Kłodnica from the Germans.[4]
During World War II, the Germans operated the E800 forced labour subcamp of the Stalag VIII-B/344 prisoner of war camp for Allied POWs in Kłodnica.[5]
Kłodnica was included within the city limits of Kędzierzyn-Koźle as its district in 1975.[6]
