history

Church of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary

Gauers Castle

The village was suspended under German law in 1296 and was first mentioned as Goworovici villa . In the work Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis from the years 1295-1305, the place is mentioned as Gowtesowitz . The place names Gauwirs and 1396 Gowornici have been handed down for the year 1371 .

After the First Silesian War in 1742, Gauers and most of Silesia fell to Prussia .

After the reorganization of the province of Silesia , the rural community of Gauers belonged to the district of Grottkau in the administrative district of Opole from 1816 . In 1845 there was a Catholic church, a Catholic school, a distillery and 72 other houses in the village. In the same year 450 people lived in Gauers, one of them Protestant. In 1855 499 people lived in Gauers. In 1865 there were 12 farmers, 28 gardeners and eleven cottagers as well as a mill. The two-class school was attended by 158 students in the same year. In 1874 the district of Gauers was founded, which consists of the rural communities of Gauers, Pillwösche, Satteldorf, Starrwitz and Tharnau b. Ottmachau and the estate districts of Gauers, Pillwösche, Satteldorf, Starrwitz I, Starrwitz II and Tharnau b. Ottmachau existed. In 1885 Gauers had 445 inhabitants.

In 1933 there were 476 inhabitants in Gauers. On July 22, 1936, the place was renamed Gauwald in the wake of a wave of renaming during the Nazi era . In 1939 Gauwald had 459 inhabitants. At the end of the war in 1945, the place belonged to the Grottkau district .

As a result of the Second World War, Gauwald fell under Polish administration in 1945, like most of Silesia . It was subsequently renamed Goworowice and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. The German population was largely expelled . In 1950 it was incorporated into the Opole Voivodeship. In 1999 the place came to the re-established Powiat Nyski.
