History

It is one of the oldest settlement in the area, Czerwionka, Leszczyny, Ciosek and Ornontowice were established within Dębieńsko's original borders.

The village was first mentioned in 1306. It became a seat of a Catholic parish in Żory deanery in Diocese of Wrocław, mentioned in 1335 as Dambin in an incomplete register of Peter's Pence payment, composed by Galhard de Carceribus.[4]

Politically the village belonged then to the Duchy of Racibórz, within feudally fragmented Poland. In 1327 the duchy became a fee of the Kingdom of Bohemia, which after 1526 became part of the Habsburg Monarchy. After Silesian Wars it became a part of the Kingdom of Prussia.

After World War I in the Upper Silesia plebiscite 461 out of 586 voters in Stare Dębieńsko (Alt Dubensko) voted in favour of joining Poland, against 125 for Germany, whereas in Dębieńsko Wielkie (Gross Dubensko, manor goods) it was 85 out of 116 against 31.[5] The village became a part of autonomous Silesian Voivodeship in Second Polish Republic. It was then annexed by Nazi Germany at the beginning of World War II. After the war it was restored to Poland.

In years 1945-1954 Dębieńsko Stare together with Dębieńsko Wielkie formed a gmina. In 1973 the gmina was not re-established, instead Dębieńsko became till 1977 a part of gmina Ornontowice, after which it was absorbed by Leszczyny (later renamed to Czerwionka-Leszczyny).
