Leśnica (pronounced as /pl/,, pronounced as /de/) is a district in Wrocław located in the western part of the city. It was established in the territory of the former Fabryczna district.
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.[2]
Since the German name Lissa was also carried by Leszno, Leśnica was referred to as Deutsch Lissa as opposed to Polnisch Lissa.
Leśnica was first mentioned in 1201, when it was part of medieval Piast-ruled Poland.
Leśnica was granted a town charter in 1261, which was degraded before 1700.[3]
The settlement was incorporated into Breslau (today's Wrocław) in 1928.[4]
In 1991, after reforms in the administrative division of Wrocław, Leśnica became one of the city's 48 districts.[5]
