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