== Geography ==
Renice lies approximately {{convert|6|km|mi|0}} east of [[Myślibórz]]<ref name=":1">Skaziński, p. 1</ref> and {{convert|59|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} south-east of the regional capital [[Szczecin]]. The next settlements are [[Ławy, West Pomeranian Voivodeship|Ławy]] to the south, [[Klicko]] to the west (interrupted by the [[Ghost town|abandoned settlement]] of [[Turzyniec, West Pomeranian Voivodeship|Turzyniec]]), [[Podłążek]] to the north-west, [[Strzelnik]] to the north, [[Giżyn, Myślibórz County|Giżyn]] to the east, and [[Świątki, Myślibórz County|Świątki]] to the south-east.

Renice is an important crossroads in [[Gmina Myślibórz]] due to the [[European route E75|E65 highway]] intersecting with the {{Interlanguage link|National road DK26|lt=national road DK26|pl|Droga krajowa nr 26 (Polska)}} (towards [[Myślibórz]]) and the [[Voivodeship road 119|Voivodeship road DW119]] (towards [[Gorzów Wielkopolski]]) in the northern part of the village. This northern part of Renice lies on the intersection of the DK26 and DW119 and is home to two gas stations as well as the AUTO PORT restaurant and hotel, one of the few places in Poland to house a privately owned [[crocodile]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2016-04-12 |title=Krokodyle atrakcją restauracji |url=https://uwaga.tvn.pl/reportaze/krokodyle-atrakcja-restauracji-ls6695020 |access-date=2024-11-01 |website=uwaga.tvn.pl |language=pl}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2016-02-05 |title=Krokodyl zdechł?

== History ==
{{See also|History of Pomerania}}
Numerous [[Prehistory|prehistoric]] finds were made in the area of modern-day Renice, mostly in connection to the [[Lusatian culture|Lusatian]] and [[Jastorf culture]]s, but also the [[Únětice culture]]. A German archaeological site, named ''Rehnitzbruch'', in the 1930s uncovered multiple bronze treasures including a bronze statue nicknamed "Egyptian king of Rehnitzbruch" ({{langx|de|ägyptischer König von Rehnitzbruch}}) which is thought to have been an ancient [[Greco-Roman world|Greco-Roman]] import to the area. Additionally, {{convert|1.5|km|mi|0}} southwest of Renice proper exists a small [[Gord (archaeology)|gord]] in which ceramics were found that are attributed to the aforementioned [[Lusatian culture|Lusatian]] and [[Jastorf culture]]s as well as the [[Late Middle Ages|late medieval period]].<ref name=":1" />

Renice was first mentioned in 1238. By 1260 it was known as Reniz and by 1336 the village was known by the names Rentz, Renths, and Reynitz. The name is of Slavic origin and is roughly translated as a village built upon sandy [[gravel]] or [[scree]]. In 1260, Reniz transferred 150 harnessed animals to the monastery in [[Coswig, Saxony-Anhalt|Coswig]], [[Principality of Anhalt|Anhalt]]. The church in Rehnitz was rebuilt in 1600. In 1630, 63 residents of the village died of the plague.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=Ansichtskarte Rehnitz (Renice) bei Soldin (Myślibórz) - Neumark - Schloss |url=https://www.ansichtskartenversand-lebbe.de/artikel_3.php?id=3069&seite=brandenburg_neumark&use=1&ukatid=73&schalt=1 |access-date=2024-11-01 |website=www.ansichtskartenversand-lebbe.de |language=de}}</ref>

By 1800, Rehnitz was home to the estate and 19 buildings with 149 inhabitants, thereof: 6 [[Cotter (farmer)|cotters]] and 12 ''{{Interlanguage link|Einlieger|lt=einlieger|de|Einlieger}}'' as well as one [[blacksmith]], one [[windmill]], and one [[forestry]].<ref name=":0" />

During 1895, Rehnitz was a part of the [[Protestantism|Protestant]] [[Głazów, West Pomeranian Voivodeship|Glasow]] church district and had a population of 218, split into 50% (109) male and 50% (109) female. The religious affiliation in Rehnitz in 1895 consisted of 217 [[Protestantism|Protestants]] and one [[Catholic Church|catholic]].<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://www.digitale-sammlungen.de/de/view/bsb11480935?page=166,167 |title=Gemeindelexikon für das Königreich Preußen [1898] III Stadtkreis Berlin und Provinz Brandenburg aufgrund der Materialien der Volkszählung vom 2.

During [[World War II]], Rehnitz was home to a small [[Nazi Germany|Nazi]] [[Nazi work camps|work camp]] that housed deported [[Carinthian Slovenes|Slovenes from Austria]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Verfolgung von Jugendlichen im NS - Andrej Kokot |url=https://www.verfolgung-von-jugendlichen-im-ns.de/biographies/andrej-kokot |access-date=2024-11-01 |website=www.verfolgung-von-jugendlichen-im-ns.de}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=The expulsion of the Carinthian Slovenes in 1942 by Augustin Malle and ... - National Fund of the Republic of Austria for Victims of National Socialism |url=https://www.nationalfonds.org/detail-view/976 |access-date=2024-11-01 |website=www.nationalfonds.org |language=en}}</ref>

=== Rehnitz Estate ===
[[File:Renice estate.jpg|thumb|Renice estate, front view]]
The Rehnitz estate was under the ownership of the [[von Sydow]] family until 1837 when it went to Carl Wilhelm Phemel. In 1905 the estate was purchased by the [[Berlin]]er banker {{Interlanguage link|Hugo Oppenheim|de|Hugo Oppenheim}} who expanded the estate into a ''[[Schloss]]''. Oppenheim's widowed wife, Anna Oppenheim, sold the majority of the estate upon his death in 1928 to the ''Siedlungsgesellschaft "Eigene Scholle"'' but kept the ''[[Schloss]]'', forest and lake for her family.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Lexikon |url=http://www.maerkische-landsitze.de/lexikon.htm#Oppenheim |access-date=2024-11-01 |website=www.maerkische-landsitze.de}}</ref><ref name=":0" />

During [[World War II]], the Rehnitz estate served as a retreat for the [[Hitler Youth]]. The ''[[Schloss]]'' of the estate now serves as a youth education center.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Palast in Renice |url=http://westisthebest.pl/de/6065-westisthebest-palast-in-renice |access-date=2024-11-01 |website=westisthebest.pl |language=de}}</ref>

=== History after WWII ===
After the [[Flight and expulsion of Germans from Poland during and after World War II|flight and expulsion of Germans]] from the area, Rehnitz was placed under [[Polish People's Republic|Polish]] administration and given its modern name of Renice. [[Voivodeships of Poland (1975–1998)|Between 1975 and 1998]], Renice was part of the [[Gorzów Voivodeship]].
