history

Church of the Assumption of Mary

In the work Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis from the years 1295-1305, the place is first mentioned as Lossovitz . The place names Loswicz and 1378 Lossowicz have been handed down for the year 1374 .

At the end of the 16th century a church was built in the village. Destroyed by fire, a new church was built in 1698. After the First Silesian War in 1742, Laßwitz and most of Silesia fell to Prussia .

After the reorganization of the province of Silesia , the rural community Laßwitz belonged to the district of Grottkau in the administrative district of Opole from 1816 . In 1845 there was a Catholic parish church, a Catholic school, a pub and 71 other houses in the village. In the same year, 475 people lived in Laßwitz, all of them Catholic. In 1855 530 people lived in Laßwitz. In 1865 there were two hereditary properties in the village, 19 farmers, ten gardeners , 26 cottagers and 22 residents. The one-class school was attended by 109 students in the same year. In 1874 the district of Lobedau was founded, which consisted of the rural communities of Johnsdorf, Laßwitz and Lobedau and the manor districts of Johnsdorf and Lobedau. In 1885 Laßwitz had 505 inhabitants.

In 1933 394 people lived in Laßwitz. On July 22, 1936, the place was renamed Höhendorf in the course of a wave of renaming of the Nazi era . In 1939 372 people lived in Höhendorf. Until the end of the war in 1945, the place belonged to the district of Grottkau .

As a result of the Second World War, Höhendorf fell under Polish administration in 1945, like most of Silesia . It was subsequently renamed Lasowice and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. The German population was largely expelled . In 1950 it was incorporated into the Opole Voivodeship. In 1999 the place came to the re-established Powiat Nyski .
