Lutyně (Orlovâ)

Lutyně (Polish: Lutynia, German: Leuten) is a district of the city of Orlová in Karviná District, Moravian-Silesian Region, Czech Republic. It was a separate municipality, historically prior to World War II known as Polská Lutyně (Polish: Lutynia Polska, German: Polnischleuten), and later as Horní Lutyně (Polish: Lutynia Górna, German: Ober-Leuten). It became administratively a part of Orlová in 1946, as opposed to its sister settlement of Dolní Lutyně, which remained independent. It is now the largest district of the town, with a population of over 26000, roughly three quarters of the Orlová population.

The village of Lutyně was first mentioned in a Latin document of Diocese of Wrocław called Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis from around 1305 as item in Luthina LXXI) mansi. It meant that the village was supposed to pay tithe from 71 greater lans. The village could have been founded by Benedictine monks from Orlová abbey and also it could be a part of a larger settlement campaign taking place in the late 13th century on the territory of what will be later known as Upper Silesia. A separate village of Horní Lutyně was first mentioned in 1365, and later in 1450 together with its sister settlement as Lutynie utrumque Theutonicum et Polonicum.
