history

The place was first mentioned in the Peterspfennigregister of the year 1335 as the parish villa Petri in the Teschen deanery . Later it was mentioned as Petrowicz [e] (1394, 1431, 1440, 1447), Petersdorff (1443), Petirsdorff (Peterspfennigregister of the year 1447, 1454). The name is patronymically derived from the first name Peter (Czech Petr, Polish Piotr, Teschener dialect Pieter) with the typical patronymic word ending - (ov) ice.

Politically, the village originally belonged to the Duchy of Teschen , which existed from 1290 during the period of Polish particularism . Since 1327 consisted fiefdom of the Kingdom of Bohemia and since 1526 it belonged to the Habsburg monarchy .

In 1727 Petrowitz was attached to the Roy (Ráj) rule . After the division of Silesia in 1742, the Petrůvka formed the border with the Prussian territories, while Petrowitz remained with Austrian Silesia . At the end of the 18th century the village became the property of the town of Freistadt .

With the Kaiser-Ferdinands-Nordbahn in 1855, the small town received a rail connection and train station. A little later Heinrich Graf Larisch-Mönnich founded the Petrowitz soda factory, which created 250 jobs. Houses were built for the workers and the place turned into an industrial community. In 1896 the Petrowitz – Karwin local railway received the concession document.

After the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Piotrowice first came to Poland, but was occupied by Czechoslovakia in the Polish-Czechoslovak border war and assigned to Czechoslovakia with the border treaty of July 28, 1920. After the Munich Agreement , the place became Polish again in 1938 and after the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht it came to the German Reich and became part of the Teschen district . After the end of the Second World War, Petrovice came back to Czechoslovakia.

On February 16, 1952, Dolní Marklovice, Závada and Prstná were incorporated. On December 31, 2003, 4,345 people lived in the village.
