history

"Borislavitz" was first mentioned in a document from 1295–1305 in the Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis ( Tithe Register of the Diocese of Breslau ). At that time it belonged to the Duchy of Cosel , which had been given to the Crown of Bohemia as a fief in 1286 . After the First Silesian War in 1742 Borislawitz fell like most of Silesia to Prussia . At that time the Borislawitz manor was owned by the Larisch family . In 1772 the widow Helena Benigna von Larisch married Freiherr Gerhard von Saß , the then commandant of the Cosel Fortress . Gerhard von Saß founded the small town "Borislawitz", which received the status of a market town, around 1780 and settled it with weavers from Bohemia and Moravia, craftsmen and a trader. It is said to have been a Catholic counter-foundation to the neighboring Gnadenfeld . The naming of the town as “Little Berlin”, as the founder wanted, was rejected.

In 1783 the place was mentioned in the book Additions to the Description of Silesia as "Borzislawi (t) z" and "Eberstelig". At that time it had 148 inhabitants, a farm , a windmill and 23 gardeners .

After the Silesian War in 1742 Borislawitz, like most of Silesia, fell to Prussia . From 1816 it belonged to the district of Cosel . It could not develop economically and remained an insignificant market town without its own church. In 1825 there were only five master weavers with two journeymen and one apprentice. In 1865 it consisted of a manor and a market town with six gardeners and 22 cottages. The Catholic residents were parish in Kostenthal , the Protestants in Cosel . In 1874 it was incorporated into the administrative district of Kostenthal together with the rural communities Borislawitz, Kostenthal Dorf, Kostenthal Freiheit and Mierzenzin as well as the Borislawitz estate .

In the referendum in Upper Silesia on March 20, 1921, 121 eligible voters voted for Upper Silesia to remain with Germany and 28 for membership of Poland. Borislawitz remained with the German Reich after the division of Upper Silesia . On July 8, 1935, the place was renamed Saßstädt in the course of a wave of renaming during the Nazi era . Until 1945 the place was in the district of Cosel .

In 1945 the formerly German town came under Polish administration and was then attached to the Silesian Voivodeship and renamed the Polish Borzysławice . The district of Cosel was renamed Powiat Kozielski. In 1950 the place came to the Opole Voivodeship . In 1975 the powiat Kozielski was dissolved. In 1999 the place came to the newly founded Powiat Kędzierzyńsko-Kozielski . On September 30, 2014, the place was also given the official German place name Borislawitz .
