history
The place originated in the early 19th century. To distinguish it from Kleinhammer near Kieferstädtel, the place was called Klein Althammer. In the middle of the 19th century, Klein Althammer was owned by Prince August zu Hohenlohe-Öhringen .
In 1865, Klein Althammer consisted of a village community and a dominium. At that time the village had two gardener positions and 33 cottager positions. There were also two grinding mills and a board mill with two saw gates. The place was schooled after Ortowitz .
In the referendum in Upper Silesia on March 20, 1921, 122 eligible voters voted for Upper Silesia to remain with Germany and 114 for membership of Poland. After the partition of Upper Silesia, Klein Althammer remained with the German Empire . Until 1945 the place was in the district of Cosel .
In 1945 the previously German town came under Polish administration and was then attached to the Silesian Voivodeship and renamed the Polish Stara Kuźnia . The district of Cosel was renamed Powiat Kozielski. In 1950 the place came to the Opole Voivodeship . In 1975 the powiat Kozielski was dissolved. In 1999 the place came to the newly founded Powiat Kędzierzyńsko-Kozielski . On April 23, 2007, German was introduced as the second official language in the Birawa community. On January 10, 2011, the place was also given the official German place name Klein Althammer .
