It is located in the historic Upper Silesia region, approximately 3 kilometres (2 mi) north-west of Tarnów Opolski and 12 km (7 mi) south-east of the regional capital Opole.
The settlement was established in 1773 at the behest of the Prussian government under King Frederick the Great, who had conquered the lands in the First Silesian War of 1740–42. It was named after the Prussian minister von der Schulenburg. Like several other townships around Opole, it is officially bilingual in Polish and German.
