The Catholic Parish Church

The village was first mentioned in 1260, when it appeared under "Cremchici". The village was also mentioned in 1295 as Chrempchicz and in 1532 as Krzimptzytz . The name of the village is derived from the Slavic word chrząszcz (dt. Beetle ) and translated means beetle place .

In 1814 there was a great fire in which the church and most of the houses were destroyed. In 1845 there was a Catholic school, a rectory and 58 other houses in the village. In the same year 391 people lived in Chrzumczütz, eight of them Protestant and six Jewish.

In the referendum in Upper Silesia on March 20, 1921, 235 eligible voters voted to remain with Germany and 116 for Poland. Chrzumczütz remained with the German Empire . In 1933 there were 642 inhabitants. In the same year Chrzumczütz was renamed Schönkirch . From 1934 the place was officially called Schönkirch OS. In 1939 the place had 654 inhabitants.
