history

The St. Florian Church

The name Zywodczütz probably goes back to a personal name. The names Sibotho or Johannes Sibochic appear in the Czarnowanzer document from 1228. Around 1300 the very similar name Ziboczicz can be found in the Lib. Fund. , where Ziboczicz utroque ( utroque : lat. both ) is called. Since there is only one place Zywodczütz, it can be assumed that the utroque refers to the division of the tithe , half of which went to the bishop and the other half to the Leubus monastery . There is also another derivation of the place name, which refers to the location of the village above the meadows behind the water ( za wodzie ), but is doubtful. Other name variants are: Zywotitz (1483), Zibetitz (1534) and Ziwowitz (1574).

During the Thirty Years War , the Swedish army marched from Mecklenburg to Olomouc through Zywodczütz. On this march, the Swedes are said to have built a road that was still clearly visible in 1940.

From 1816 to 1945 Zywodczütz belonged to the Opole district and from January 1, 1874 it was incorporated into the Krappitz Castle District .

In 1845 the village had 408 inhabitants, 18 of whom were Protestant. There were 43 houses, 3 estates and a water mill.

With the settlement of the paper industry in Krappitz at the turn of the century (railway connection: 1896, foundation of paper factory: 1901, foundation of soda pulp works: 1906), population growth also began in Zywodczütz. The first shop, a bakery and grocery store, opened in 1912. General stores, butcher shops, inns, construction work, cement pipe works and other handicraft businesses such as carpenters, tailors, shoemakers, clothiers and others followed. There was also a volunteer fire brigade and a Red Cross station. A savings and loan fund was founded in 1915 and an electricity cooperative in 1919.

Even before the rulers at that time renamed Slavic-sounding place names in 1936 , Zywodczütz was given the new place name "Oderwiese" in 1934. As a justification for the corresponding application, the community school at the time stated that when auditioning in the Opole District Office, one no longer had to wait for the alphabetically very far back order Z, Y, W.

As a result of the Second World War , Oderwiese, which lies east of the Oder-Neisse line , became part of Poland as “Żywocice” after the decisions of the Potsdam Agreement of August 2, 1945.

church

Zywodczütz belonged to the parish of Krappitz for centuries. Since the construction of the Catholic St. Florian Church in 1985, Żywocice has formed its own parish, to which the villages of Pietna and Ligota Krapkowicka (German Vorwerk Oberwiese ) belong.
