History
The village was founded, probably in the 13th century, as a forest village that was one of several German settlements in Upper Silesia.{{cite book |author=Walter Kuhn |title=Siedlungsgeschichte Oberschlesiens |location=Würzburg |year=1954 |publisher=Oberschleisischer Heimatverlag |oclc=7480437 |page=66 |language=de }} The region was part of the Duchy of Poland and subsequently the Kingdom of Poland until the 14th century, when it was incorporated into the Kingdom of Bohemia. In 1742 it became part of the Kingdom of Prussia and in 1871, of the German Empire. Achthuben was the property of a monastery in Nysa (Neisse) until the early 19th century. It had a population of 395 in 1845,{{cite book |author=Johann G. Knie |title=Alphabetisch-statistisch-topographische Uebersicht der Dörfer, Flecken, Städte und andern Orte der Königl. preuss.
