history

In the work Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis from the years 1295-1305, the place is first mentioned as Belaweza . The place name Belwes has been handed down for the year 1360 .

After the First Silesian War in 1742, Pillwösche and most of Silesia fell to Prussia .

After the reorganization of the province of Silesia , the rural community of Pillwösche belonged to the district of Grottkau in the administrative district of Opole from 1816 . In 1845 there was a distillery and 27 other houses in the village. In the same year, 186 people lived in Pillwösche, seven of them Protestants. The district of Tschiltsch had 40 inhabitants in 1845. In 1855 174 people lived in Pillwösche. In 1865 there were twelve gardeners and five cottages in the village. The residents of Gauers were trained and parish. In 1874 the district of Gauers was founded, which consists of the rural communities Gauers, Pillwösche, Satteldorf, Starrwitz and Tharnau b. Ottmachau and the estate districts of Gauers, Pillwösche, Satteldorf, Starrwitz I, Starrwitz II and Tharnau b. Ottmachau existed. In 1885 Pillwösche had 97 inhabitants.

In 1933 there were 476 inhabitants in Pillwösche. On July 22nd, 1936, the place was renamed Weißach in the course of a wave of renaming of places during the Nazi era . In 1939 Weißach had 459 inhabitants. Until the end of the war in 1945, the place belonged to the Grottkau district .

As a result of the Second World War, Pillwösche fell under Polish administration in 1945, like most of Silesia . It was subsequently renamed Białowieża and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. The German population was largely expelled . In 1950 it was incorporated into the Opole Voivodeship. In 1999 the place came to the re-established Powiat Nyski.
