history
Murow was first mentioned in 1304 in a document from the Czarnowanz monastery . Around 1392 the name of the place disappears - its inhabitants were probably carried away by an epidemic - and only reappears in 1736 in the map of the Duchy of Opole by IW Wieland in the form of the Murower Bridge . At that time, the Czarnowanz monastery built a glassworks here and the Hermannsthal colony was founded in 1789 for the workers who settled here.
Until the secularization of 1810, the Czarnowanzer glassworks was owned by the Czarnowanz monastery, after which it became state property and then passed into private ownership. In 1845 there were several glassworks, a royal forest ranger's office and 36 other houses in the village. In the same year 397 people lived in Murow, 48 of them Protestants and 25 Jewish. In 1874 the Murow district was founded. The first head of office was the glassworks owner P. Ebstein. In 1891 the former Czarnowanzer glassworks in Murow was the largest glass factory in Upper Silesia with 194 workers; operations ceased in 1995. The connection to the Opole – Namslau railway gave Murow an additional boost.
In the referendum in Upper Silesia on March 20, 1921, 386 eligible voters voted to remain with Germany and 89 for Poland. Murow stayed with the German Empire . In 1933, 1102 people lived in the village. On August 10, 1938, the place name was changed to Hermannsthal OS . In 1939 Hermannsthal OS had 1149 inhabitants. Until 1945 the place was in the district of Opole .
In 1945 the previously German town of Hermannsthal OS came under Polish administration, was renamed Murów and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. In 1950 the place came to the Opole Voivodeship and in 1999 to the re-established Powiat Opolski.
On March 31, 2009, German place names were introduced in the municipality of Murow.
