history
Because of its proximity to the city of Opole, Comprachtschütz has always been associated with this city and the Duchy of Opole throughout its history . The neighboring villages Bowallno and Polish Neudorf , but also Comprachtschütz, were ecclesiastically part of the collegiate church in Falkenberg . Comprachtschütz was first mentioned in a document in 1302 as Gumperti Villa in a document relating to the collegiate church. Based on the name, it can be assumed that this place belonged to a German knight named Gumpert. Later spellings of the place were Gupertowitz and Gumprechtsdorf , but they did not prevail. The place was mentioned as Gumprechtsdorff in a document from the Czarnowanz monastery from November 19, 1433 . In 1532 the place was mentioned as Gomprachtitz .
A church in Comprachtschütz was mentioned as early as 1335 and 1398. It was probably built by the Opole Collegiate Monastery of the Holy Cross, which also provided pastoral care here, until the parishioner's first priest, a certain Thomas, was introduced in 1680. During the Thirty Years' War the church was burned down by the Swedes. In 1686 it again fell victim to a fire and was then rebuilt for the last time in 1702.
In 1816 the Prussian administrative district of Opole was formed, which brought the city and its surrounding area an economic boom. Even when a typhus epidemic broke out in the area in 1848 , the new mills and industrial operations continued to attract more and more people. In 1887 the municipality of Comprachtschütz found a connection to the new Opole – Neisse railway line , which was also accompanied by the construction of new roads. In 1913 the spelling of the place name was changed from Comprachczütz to Comprachtschütz .
In the referendum in Upper Silesia on March 20, 1921, 619 votes (73.3%) were cast in Comprachtschütz to remain with Germany, 225 votes were in favor of joining Poland. With the entire district of Opole, the village remained in the Weimar Republic .

In the 1930s Comprachtschütz experienced significant population growth as many people had to be resettled because of the construction of the Turawa reservoir . The construction of the new parish church from 1935 to 1936, which was promoted by Pastor Franz Niedzballa, also fell during this period. The historic scrap wood church of St. Martin from 1702 was relocated to nearby Ochotz in 1941 . Comprachtschütz remained independent all the time and did not become a part of Opole like neighboring communities. When the renaming of hundreds of towns with Slavic-sounding names in Upper and Lower Silesia was carried out by the National Socialists, Comprachtschütz was also given the new name Gumpertsdorf in 1936, which was based on medieval spellings. In 1939 the community had 8,196 inhabitants and was part of the Opole district until 1945 .
In 1945 Comprachtschütz was occupied by the Red Army and since then has been part of Poland as Komprachcice . After the Second World War, only a small number of the local population was displaced. According to the last census in 2002, 56.0% of the community population are Poles , 31.3% belong to the German minority , a further 7.5% described themselves as Silesians and 5.2% did not provide any information about their nationality.
On June 4, 2009, German was introduced as the second official language in the municipality, and on December 1, 2009, bilingual place names were introduced.
