history
Klein Peterwitz was parish off to Zauditz in 1652 and was part of the Olomouc bishopric . In 1742 the village fell to Prussia and in 1818 it was assigned to the Ratibor district. Before that it had belonged to the Leobschützer circle. In the 19th century Johann Trulley donated the local Barbara Chapel.
After the First World War , the southern part of the Ratibor district was annexed to Czechoslovakia ( Hultschiner Ländchen ), which cut off Klein Peterwitz Grenzort and its neighboring town of Zauditz, which was now in Czechoslovakia.
In the referendum in Upper Silesia on March 20, 1921, 433 people (97.1%) voted in Klein Peterwitz to remain in Germany and 13 to join Poland. Klein Peterwitz remained with the German Empire.
Until 1925, Klein Peterwitz was still a parish in Zauditz, after which it was attached to the more distant parish of Kranowitz. That is why the decision was made to build a branch church and it was implemented from 1930 to 1932 on the northern outskirts.
After the Second World War , the village came under Polish administration as Pietraszyn in 1945 .
Today Klein Peterwitz belongs to the municipality of Kranowitz, which is the municipality with the proportionally largest German minority in the Silesian Voivodeship. In 2008, additional official place names were introduced in German.

- In 1930 the foundation stone was laid for the Catholic branch church of St. Barbara . The building supervision was carried out by Franz Sichma. The construction and furnishing of the church were made possible by numerous donations and foundations from the residents. So all residents made a contribution based on their property for the three church bells purchased in 1932. These bronze bells were cast by the renowned Otto bell foundry from Hemelingen / Bremen. They are tuned to g - b -c and together weigh 1.4 tons. They survived the destruction of the bells of World War II. On October 18, 1932, the church was consecrated by the Auxiliary Bishop Josef Schinzel from Olomouc. The small church is the only cubist building in the Ratibor region.
