Radlin II (Radlin the Second) is a district of Wodzisław Śląski. It is a suburban district, the historical part of Radlin, or Radlin proper. After administrative changes, it became part of Wodzisław Śląski. Parts of national road No. 78 and railway line No. 158 with the Wodzisław Śląski Radlin stop run through Radlin II. The Lesznica River has its source in the district. Since 1907, the "OSP Radlin 2" unit has been operating in the district. There are also two Roman Catholic churches, dedicated to St. Mary Magdalene (Dolniok) and St. Isidore (Górniok). The district consists of the former towns Radlin Górny, Radlin Dolny, Szarowiec, merged in the nineteenth century into the village of Radlin. The district has about 5500 inhabitants. The present town of Radlin is called "Radlin", despite the fact that it lies in the former villages of Biertułtowy, Głożyny and Obszary, which were formerly districts of Radlin (today called Radlin the Second). From 1922 to 1939 and from 1945 to 1954 it was the seat of the Radlin gmina. Bolesław Kominek, a Polish Catholic priest and cardinal, was born in Radlin in 1903.
