Kupp was founded as a colony in 1780. To the north of the colony there was already a village called Kupp, which arose from 1607 after Lorenz Slensagk had built a mill. This place was called Alt-Kupp from 1780 after the colony was named Kupp.

The construction of the new colony was completed and settled in 1782. It was created according to plans by the architect Drenkhahn from Brieg . In 1787 the colony had 213 inhabitants.

In the referendum in Upper Silesia on March 20, 1921, 828 eligible voters voted to remain with Germany and 97 for Poland. Kupp remained with the German Empire . In 1933 there were 1151 inhabitants. In 1939 the place had 1252 inhabitants. Until 1945 the place was in the district of Opole .

In 1945 the previously German place came under Polish administration and was renamed Kup and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. From 1945 to 1954, Kup was the seat of the municipality of Kup. In 1950 the place came to the Opole Voivodeship . In 1999 the place came to the re-established Powiat Opolski . On April 22, 2009, German was introduced as the second official language in the municipality of Groß Döbern, to which Kupp belongs, and on December 1, 2009, the place was also given the official German place name Kupp .

architecture

Kupp was laid out in a circle and thus has a common feature with Pokój (Bad Carlsruhe) to the north , which is also laid out in a circle (at least within the star). Geometric locations are typical of the Baroque period.

One half of the circle within the ring-shaped road was designed as a square, from which two radial roads branch off. The other half was built with houses. The two halves are divided by a central straight street that leads to the Protestant church in the north-northwest. Within the built-up half, the rent office building is located at the starting point of the radial streets. Twelve houses were originally arranged around the ring, including eight colonist houses, a brewery, a forge, an inn and a rider house.
