history

St. Michael Church
Giersdorf Castle

In the Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis from the years 1295-1305, the place is referred to as "Gerhardi villa". It belonged to the clerical principality of Neisse and in 1579 was owned by Balzen Storm, who was probably followed in 1592 by the episcopal secretary Heinrich von Freund. He probably bequeathed it to his grandson Nicholas of Troilo , whose mother was a born von Freund.

After the First Silesian War in 1742, Giersdorf and most of Silesia fell to Prussia . In 1782 the Wilhelmsthal colony, west of the village, was founded.

After the reorganization of the province of Silesia , the rural community of Giersdorf belonged to the district of Neisse in the administrative district of Opole from 1816 . In 1835 a school was established in the village. Until 1842 the Giersdorf church was a branch of the parish church in Bischofswalde . In 1855 there were 1,356 people in Giersdorf. For the year 1864 a Scholtisei , 36 farmers, 23 gardeners and 90 cottagers as well as two breweries and a distillery are documented. In 1874 the district of Giersdorf was founded, which consisted of the rural communities of Bischofswalde and Lentsch and the estate districts of Großhof, Kleinhof, Kleinwalde and Lentsch. In 1885 Giersdorf had 1,421 inhabitants.

In 1933, 1189 people lived in Giersdorf. On May 9, 1933, the Giersdorf district was dissolved and Giersdorf was assigned to the Bischofswalde district. In 1939 there were 1282 people in the village. Until 1945 the place was in the district of Neisse .

As a result of the Second World War, Giersdorf fell to Poland in 1945 and was initially renamed Gierałtowice . In 1947 it was renamed Gierałcice . From 1950 it belonged to the Opole Voivodeship and from 1999 to the re-established Powiat Nyski .
