history

Niklasdorf is mentioned for the first time in 1303/04 in the Registrum Wratislaviense as "villa Nikolau". The spelling “Nicola villa” is documented for 1373. In 1343 "Nicolai villa" was acquired by the city of Grottkau, with whom in 1344 it came to the episcopal principality of Neisse . In 1382 the place is mentioned as Nicklosdorff . In 1425 there were six houses and a Scholtisei as well as a Kretscham, which at that time was empty. The Vorwerk was owned by Melchior von Seidlitz in 1579 .

After the First Silesian War in 1742, Niklasdorf and most of the Principality of Neisse fell to Prussia .

After the reorganization of the province of Silesia , the rural community of Niklasdorf belonged to the district of Grottkau in the administrative district of Opole from 1816 . In 1845 there was a manor, a brewery, a distillery and 36 other houses in the village. In the same year 239 people lived in Niklasdorf, 30 of them Protestants. In 1855 241 people lived in Niklasdorf. In 1865 there were 23 gardeners and two cottages in the village. The villagers were schooled according to Würben, parish to Hohengiersdorf. In 1874 the Striegendorf district was founded, to which Niklasdorf was incorporated. In 1885 Niklasdorf had 160 inhabitants.

In 1926 the manor was sold to the Upper Silesian Landgesellschaft. In 1927 Westphalian settlers were recruited from the Beckum and Warendorf districts . In 1933 there were 193 inhabitants in Niklasdorf, in 1939 there were 267. Until the end of the war in 1945, the place belonged to the district of Grottkau .

As a result of the Second World War, Niklasdorf, like most of Silesia, came under Polish administration in 1945 . Subsequently, the place was renamed Mikołajowa and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. In 1950 it was incorporated into the Opole Voivodeship. In 1999 the place came to the newly founded Powiat Brzeski ( Brieg district ).
