Giersdorf was first mentioned in 1303/04 as "villa Glasczi sive Gerhardi villa" in the Wratislaviense registry. In a document from 1305 the spelling "Galanscicz sive ... villa Gerardi" is documented. In 1343 Gerhardi villa was acquired by the city of Grottkau, with whom it came to the episcopal principality of Neisse in 1344 . In 1372 knight Johann von Pogarell sold the village of Gerhardisdorf to the Breslau bishop Preczlaw von Pogarell . In 1425 Gerhardisdorf paid interest to the Breslau church . In 1579 it belonged partly to the bishop and Heinrich Hundt. They were followed by the episcopal court judge Heinrich Buchta von Buchtitz on Zülzendorf, Leupusch and Hohen-Giersdorf.

During the turmoil of the Thirty Years War , Giersdorf was plundered and destroyed several times. After the First Silesian War in 1742, Hohengiersdorf and most of the Principality of Neisse fell to Prussia .

In 1814 the village was donated to Field Marshal Ludwig Yorck von Wartenburg . After the reorganization of the province of Silesia , the rural community of Hohengiersdorf belonged to the district of Grottkau in the administrative district of Opole from 1816 . In 1845 there was a Catholic parish church, a Catholic school, two outbuildings and 102 other houses in the village. In the same year 576 people lived in Giersdorf, 23 of them Protestants. In 1874 Hohengiersdorf came to the newly formed district of Hohengiersdorf, which included the rural communities of Hohengiersdorf and Nieder Giersdorf and the estate districts of Hohengiersdorf, Nieder Giersdorf and Zülzhof. In 1885 Giersdorf had 506 inhabitants.

In 1933 there were 767 residents in Giersdorf and 793 in 1939. Until the end of the war in 1945, the place belonged to the district of Grottkau .

As a result of the Second World War, Giersdorf fell under Polish administration in 1945, like most of Silesia . It was subsequently renamed Galancice and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. In 1947 it was renamed Gałązczyce . In 1950 it was incorporated into the Opole Voivodeship. In 1999, the place came to the newly founded Powiat Brzeski (Brzeg) ( Brieg district ).
