history

Bielitz was first mentioned as Belici on July 3, 1284 in a letter of complaint from the Neiss bishop to Duke Heinrich . It can be assumed that the village existed before. The settlement of the land north of Neisse took place mainly in the middle of the 13th century. It is therefore assumed that Bielitz was founded under German law around 1240. The village was first mentioned as Belicz in 1373 .

After the First Silesian War in 1742, Bielitz and most of Silesia fell to Prussia . Between 1743 and 1816 the village belonged to the Neisse district . In 1783 Bielsko had 694 inhabitants.

After the reorganization of the province of Silesia , the rural community of Bielitz belonged to the district of Falkenberg OS in the administrative district of Opole from 1816 . In 1835 a fire destroyed most of the buildings in the village. In 1845 there was a castle, a Catholic church, a Catholic school and 138 houses in the village. In the same year, 953 people lived in Bielitz, seven of them Protestants. In 1855 1098 people lived in the village. In 1861 Bielsko again had 1,047 inhabitants. In 1865 the village had 28 farmers, 48 ​​gardeners and 36 cottagers. The one-class Catholic school was attended by 105 students in the same year. In 1874 the district of Bielitz was founded, which initially consisted of the rural communities Bielitz and the manor district Bielitz. The first head of office was the manor owner Kutsche. In 1882 a new school building was built. In 1885 Bielsko had 1,072 inhabitants.

In 1933 Bielsko had 955 inhabitants. On July 24, 1942, the place name was changed to Bielitzfelde . In 1939 Bielitzfelde had 897 inhabitants. Until 1945 the place was in the district of Falkenberg OS

On March 16, 1945 the village was conquered by the Red Army . Then Bielitzfelde, like most of Silesia, came under Polish administration. The place was subsequently renamed Bielice and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. The remaining German population was driven to the Lamsdorf internment camp on July 27, 1945 . Of the almost 700 Germans, 300 perished in the camp. The surviving population was evicted on June 19, 1946. In 1950 it was incorporated into the Opole Voivodeship. In 1999 the place came to the newly founded Powiat Nyski (Neisse district) . In 2011 there were 882 people in Bielice.
