The place was first mentioned in a document in 1274.
The place was mentioned in 1783 in the book Beytrage describing Silesia as Dziergowitz , was owned by a Herr von Gaschin, belonged to the district of Cosel and had 19 farmers, 41 gardeners, a water mill and 304 inhabitants. In 1865 Dziergowitz consisted of a manor and a village and was located in the Cosel district. The village had a Catholic school.
In the referendum in Upper Silesia on March 20, 1921, 279 eligible voters voted to remain with Germany and 857 for Poland. Dziergowitz remained with the German Empire . In 1931 Dziergowitz was renamed Oderwalde . In 1933 there were 1,938 inhabitants. In 1939 the place had 1,991 inhabitants. Until 1945 the place was in the district of Cosel .
In 1945 the previously German place came under Polish administration, was renamed Dziergowice and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. In 1950 the place came to the Opole Voivodeship . In 1999 the place became part of the newly founded Kandrzin-Cosel district. On April 23, 2007 , German was introduced as the second official language in the municipality of Birawa , which Oderwalde belongs to.
In the course of the introduction of German place names in the municipality of Birawa, the residents of the place voted on the future German place name in March 2010. When choosing between the names Dziergowitz and Oderwalde, the majority decided to reintroduce the last German place name Oderwalde .

The hymn to Oderwalde
1st verse
Green is your forest and green is your field,
your blue sky is shining.
The Oder greets you, shimmering ribbon,
with its idyllic Oder beach.
St. Anna greets you, our house of God,
has been blessing for 100 years, beyond you.
God protect you and continue to bloom,
Oderwalde, my hometown.
2nd stanza
you have suffered through wars, enmity and hardship.
Many a disaster threatened you.
Much has changed in your clothes.
But once you were, a German country!
That is why many left you, hardly known today,
for me you always remain, the German homeland.
God protect you and continue to bloom,
Oderwalde, my hometown.
