history

The place arose in the 13th century at the latest and was first mentioned in a document as "Przyssowitz" in 1295–1305 in the Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis ( Tithe Register of the Diocese of Breslau ). In 1429 it was mentioned as Preischewiz .

In 1742 the place with most of Silesia came to Prussia. The place was mentioned as Preisowi (t) z in the book Entries describing Silesia in 1783 , belonged to a Dorothea von Werner and was in the Tost and Gleiwitz district of the Principality of Opole . At that time he had three farms , a Catholic church and school, 41 farmers, 26 gardeners , a few cottagers and 340 residents. Later the place changed from the district of Tost to the district of Rybnik. In 1865 Preiswitz consisted of a village and a manor. The manor belonged to District Deputy Guido von Raczek. The Vorwerke Briegerhof, Miserauerhof, Oberhof and Maczeborniahof belonged to the manor. At that time, the place had 21 farmers, 15 half-farmers, 18 gardeners, eleven half-gardeners, five field farmers, eight local farmers and four millers, as well as a donated hospital for three poor people. The community also included the Miserauer Mühle, the Meisersche Mühle, the Briegerhofer Mühle and a road lift. The two-class Catholic school had 226 students at that time.

In the referendum in Upper Silesia on March 20, 1921, 340 people eligible to vote in town voted for Upper Silesia to remain with Germany and 889 for membership in Poland. Preiswitz came to Poland after the division of Upper Silesia in 1922. Until 1922 the place was in the district of Tost-Gleiwitz . From 1922 to 1924 the place was in the powiat Rudzki , then he came to the powiat Rybnicki . During the German occupation from 1939 to 1945 he was in the Upper Silesia district.

After the invasion of the Soviet Army in January 1945, they carried out a massacre of the local civilian population. About 70 people were murdered. In 1945 the place came back to Poland and the Silesian Voivodeship and was renamed the Polish Przyszowice . In 1950 the place came to the Katowice Voivodeship . In 1999 the place came to the re-established Powiat Gliwicki and the new Silesian Voivodeship.
