Stodoły (lit. barns, de|Stodoll) is a district of Rybnik, Silesian Voivodeship, southern Poland. In the late 2013 it had about 600 inhabitants.[1]
The village could have existed before 1258.

It was renamed as "Hochlinden" after campaign of cleansing "Non-German" place names in 1936. It was a place of a Nazi false flag operation (as part of Operation Himmler) on August 31, 1939.[3] [4] [5] After the war it became a part of Poland.
