Stonava (Polish: Stonawaⓘ, German: Steinau) is a municipality and village in Karviná District in the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic.

[3] Politically the village belonged then to the Duchy of Teschen, formed in 1290 in the process of feudal fragmentation of Poland and was ruled by a local branch of Silesian Piast dynasty.

[4] After the 1540s Protestant Reformation prevailed in the Duchy of Teschen and a local Catholic church was taken over by Lutherans.

Following the Munich Agreement, in October 1938 together with the Trans-Olza region it was annexed by Poland, administratively organised in Frysztat County of Silesian Voivodeship.

[7] The municipality was then annexed by Nazi Germany at the beginning of World War II.
