history

Gührau was first mentioned in 1303/04 in the “Registrum Wratislavience” as “villa Cherubim”. In 1343 it was acquired as "Gerow" by the town of Grottkau, with whom it came to the Principality of Neisse in 1344 . The spelling “Geraw” is documented for the year 1425. In 1579 the rulership of the village belonged to Diprandt and Friedrich Gellhorn. The place name is derived from the founder of the village, the village of Geros .

After the First Silesian War in 1742, Gührau and most of the Principality of Neisse fell to Prussia .

After the reorganization of the province of Silesia , the rural community of Gührau belonged to the district of Grottkau in the administrative district of Opole from 1816 . In 1845 there was a castle, a farm, a distillery, an inn and 60 other houses in the village. In the same year 312 people lived in Gührau, 149 of them Catholic. In 1855 there were 333 people living in the village. From 1858 the manor was owned by the Pohl family. In 1865 there were 25 gardeners and eleven cottages as well as a castle and a distillery. In 1874 Gührau came to the newly formed district Striegendorf, which included the rural communities of Gührau, Niclasdorf, Striegendorf and Würben and the manor districts of Gührau, Niclasdorf, Striegendorf and Würben. In 1885 Giersdorf had 220 inhabitants.

In 1933 239 people lived in Gührau, in 1939 again 200 people. Until the end of the war in 1945, the place belonged to the district of Grottkau .

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