Twardawa is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Głogówek, in Prudnik County, Opole Voivodeship, in southern Poland, near the Czech border.
==History== The village was first mentioned in a document of Bishop of Wrocław Wawrzyniec from 1224, when it was part of fragmented Piast-ruled Poland. Its name is of Polish origin and comes from the word twardy/twarda, which means "hard". The local parish church of Saint Margaret was first mentioned in 1305. Later on, the village was also part of Bohemia (Czechia), Prussia, and Germany. In 1885, Twardawa had a population of 780. In 1936, during a massive Nazi campaign of renaming of placenames, the village was renamed to Hartenau to erase traces of Polish origin.
