Chobienice, [xɔbjɛˈnit͡sɛ] historically Chobienica,[2] (German: Köbnitz) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Siedlec, within Wolsztyn County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, in west-central Poland.[3]

History

[edit]

Historically, the village belonged to Greater Poland, under many different names.[a] The village was first mentioned in 1394 as Chobenicz. However, the area which the village is located in was settled earlier. Archaeologists discovered a hillfort 1.5 km (0.93 mi) east of the village, which is believed to date back from the 7th to mid-13th centuries.[2]

In 1837, the village had a total population of 589, across 49 households.[4]
