==History==
Kunzendorf (called Groß Kunzendorf to distinguish it from other places of the same name) is first recorded in 1201 as ''villa Cunati'' and in 1382 as ''Cunczindorff''.<ref name=Knie/> A ''Slawnewiz'' is mentioned in 1291, but its location is uncertain.<ref>{{cite book |author=[[Henryk Borek]] |title=Górny Śląsk w świetle nazw miejscowych |location=Opole |publisher=Instytut Śląski w Opolu |year=1988 |oclc=20091457 |language=pl |page=182 }}</ref> From the late 13th century the village was within the [[Duchy of Neisse]], an [[prince-bishop|ecclesiastical duchy]] within the [[Holy Roman Empire]]; with the remainder of [[Upper Silesia]], this subsequently became subordinate to the [[Kingdom of Bohemia]]. In 1603–15, a peasant revolt took place in the village, one of a series of anti-feudal uprisings against harsh impositions by local landlords under the bishop.<ref>{{cite book |author=Berhard W.
