In 1295 a place called “Symanovicz” was mentioned for the first time. However, it is not known whether it was Klein Schimnitz or Groß Schimnitz. In 1531 the village was mentioned as Min. Schmenitze . The name Schimnitz is derived from the Slavic term Ziemnice (German country estate ).

In 1845 there were two outworks, two blacksmiths and another 38 houses in the village. In the same year, 350 people lived in Klein Schimnitz, 31 of them Protestants.

In the referendum in Upper Silesia on March 20, 1921, 187 eligible voters voted to remain with Germany and 85 for Poland. Klein Schimnitz remained with the German Empire . In 1933 there were 504 inhabitants. On May 19, 1936, the place was renamed Klein Schimmendorf . In 1939 the place had 500 inhabitants. Until 1945 the place was in the district of Opole .

In 1945 the previously German place came under Polish administration and was renamed Ziemnice Małe and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. In 1950 the place came to the Opole Voivodeship . The Church of St. Franziska was consecrated on July 8, 1990. During the flood of the Oder in 1997 , the eastern areas of the village were partially flooded, including the Kath. Church. In 1999 the place came to the re-established Powiat Krapkowicki . On October 7, 2004 the place name was changed to Zimnice Małe . On July 11, 2006, German was introduced as the second official language in the Prószków municipality to which Zimnice Małe belongs.
