Leśnica (Polish pronunciation: [lɛɕˈɲit͡sa], German: Lissa[a], [ˈlɪsa]) is a district in Wrocław, Poland, located in the western part of the city. It was established in the territory of the former Fabryczna district.
In a medieval document written in Latin and issued in Wrocław in 1266, which was signed by Silesian Duke Henry III the White, the village is listed under the name Lesnitz.[2]
Since the German name Lissa was also carried by Leszno, Leśnica was referred to as Deutsch Lissa as opposed to Polnisch Lissa.[3]
