history

It was founded in the 16th century by the owners of Grodziec . The place was first mentioned on a map as Birowy around 1563 , but there is also a document from 1610 in which it was mentioned in 1554. The origin of the name is not clear, probably derived from the first name of the original owner Biera (≤ Biernat ), but it could originally have been Borowy .

Politically, the village belonged to the Duchy of Teschen , the fiefdom of the Kingdom of Bohemia in the Habsburg Monarchy .

In the description of Teschener Silesia by Reginald Kneifl in 1804, Biery or Biry, German Beyersdorf, was a village belonging to the Grodie rule with a mill on the Jasionka waterfront . It had 27 houses with 184 Polish-speaking residents.

After the abolition of patrimonial it was from 1850 a part of the municipality Świętoszówka in Austrian Silesia , Bielsko District and the judicial district of Skotschau . In 1900 the village had 444 inhabitants, there were predominantly Polish-speaking (98.2%), eight (1.8%) were German-speaking, 89% were Roman Catholic, 9.5% were Protestant, there were seven (1.6 %) Jews.

In 1920, after the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy and the end of the Polish-Czechoslovak border war , Biery came to Poland and the autonomous Silesian Voivodeship . This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II .

From 1975 to 1998 Biery was part of the Bielsko-Biała Voivodeship .

A Roman Catholic parish was established in 1991. The church was built between 1995 and 2001.
