In 1865 the place had three three-quarter farmers, two half-farmers, ten gardeners, four farmhouses and ten local farmers. In addition, there was a watermill in the village at that time. The residents were parish and schooled in Tost.

In the referendum in Upper Silesia on March 20, 1921, 93 eligible voters voted to remain in Germany and 70 to belong to Poland. Oratsche remained with the German Empire . Oratsche was a separate community until 1926. On April 1, 1926 Oratsche was incorporated into the city of Tost. In the 1930s Oratsche was renamed together with the neighboring Danieletz in Vorstadt Eichendorff . Until 1945 the place was in the district of Tost-Gleiwitz .
