history

The place was created in the 13th century at the latest. In 1223 the place was first mentioned in a document as "Caravar". For administrative reasons, the place was given the addition of Polish in 1702 to distinguish it from German Krawarn in the Duchy of Jägerndorf.

The place was mentioned in 1784 in the book Beytrage describing Silesia as a Krawarn or Pohlnisch Krawarn , belonged to a Lieutenant General von Dallwig and was in the Principality of Ratibor. At that time it had 394 residents, two farms , a church, a school, 16 farmers, 42 gardeners and six cottagers . In 1865, Polish Krawarn consisted of a manor and a church village. The manor once belonged to the Count von Strachwitz, in 1842 it was acquired by Imperial Count Amand von Gaschin (Baron von und zu Rosenberg) together with the manor Mackau. The manor belonged to a stately stud farm, a steam distillery, a steam mill, as well as the Amandhof, Kopanina and Thurmas farms. At that time the place had two half-farmers, 42 gardeners and 20 cottagers.

In the referendum in Upper Silesia on March 20, 1921, 474 local voters voted for Upper Silesia to remain with Germany and 27 for membership in Poland. On the estate, 200 voted for Germany and two for Poland. Polish Krawarn remained with the German Empire after the division of Upper Silesia . Around 1923/1924 the name was changed to Prussian Kravarn. Until 1945 the place was in the district of Ratibor .

In 1945 the previously German town came under Polish administration and was then attached to the Silesian Voivodeship and renamed the Polish Krawarz Polski . In 1947 the name was changed to Krowiarki . In 1950 the place came to the Opole Voivodeship, 1975 to the Katowice Voivodeship and in 1999 to the re-established Powiat Raciborski and the Silesian Voivodeship.
