Dębowa Łęka was a private village of Polish nobility, administratively located in the Wschowa County in the Poznań Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland.

Following the successful Greater Poland uprising of 1806, it was regained by Poles and included within the short-lived Duchy of Warsaw, and after the duchy's dissolution it was re-annexed by Prussia in 1815, officially under the Germanized name Geyersdorf.

During World War II, it was the first settlement of pre-war Germany to be occupied by enemy forces, in conjunction with the Raid on Fraustadt (Wschowa) on 2 September 1939; Polish forces withdrew a few days later after the situation became untenable.

After Germany's defeat in the war, in 1945, the village became again part of Poland and its historic[3] name Dębowa Łęka was restored.

Landmarks of Dębowa Łęka are the Gothic Saint Jadwiga church and the Brodowski Palace.
