History
[edit]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]
Since 2009, in addition to the official Polish language, German has also been recognized as an additional secondary language.[3]
