Dobrodzień [dɔˈbrɔd͡ʑeɲ] (German: Guttentag) is a small town in Olesno County, in Opole Voivodeship, Poland. Located in the Upper Silesia historical region, it is the administrative seat of Gmina Dobrodzień
Both names in Polish and German mean "Good day". Guttentag is an archaic variant of standard German Guten Tag, while Dobrodzień is an archaic variant of standard Polish Dzień Dobry.
The area is documented as part of the Upper Silesian Duchy of Opole since about 1163 under the rule of Duke Bolesław I the Tall. The name Dobrosin was first recorded in a 1279 deed; the name varied throughout the centuries (Dobradin, Dobrodzen, Dobrodzin, Dobrydzień etc.). From 1327 onwards, the town belonged to the Kingdom of Bohemia, which itself fell to the Austrian Habsburg Monarchy in 1526. Dobradin received town rights according to Magdeburg law in 1384. The first mention of the German name Guttentag occurred in 1636.
With the Duchy of Opole as a fief of the Bohemian Crown, Dobrodzień remained part of the Habsburg Empire until 1742, when upon the First Silesian War it was annexed by the Kingdom of Prussia according to the Treaty of Breslau. Incorporated into the Prussian Province of Silesia, it became part of the German Empire in 1871.
