history

The place was created in the 13th century at the latest. In 1295–1305 the place was first mentioned in the Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis ( Tithe Register of the Diocese of Breslau) as "Rudolfwald". Further mentions followed as Rudiswalde (1447), Rudoschwaldt (1652), Rudiswald (1679), Rudosswaldt (1687) and Ruderswalde (1743). The place name indicates the German origin of the settlers, but their descendants were Polonized up to modern times.

According to the report of the episcopal visitation from Wroclaw from 1687, the local church, a branch of Tworków , preached in the Polish language ( concio Polonica ).

The place was mentioned in 1784 in the book Beytrage describing Silesia as Rudischwald and Ruderswalde , belonged to a Prince Lichnowski and was in the Principality of Ratibor. At that time he had 159 inhabitants, a Vorwerk , a church, a school, 13 peasants, 21 gardeners and two Häusler. In the middle of the 19th century, the parish in Rudyszwałd was the only parish of the Diocese of Wroclaw in Prussian Silesia, according to ecclesiastical schemes, where there was a significant proportion of the Moravian-speaking population (in the form of the Lachish language , in the west was the core region of this language in the Diocese of Olomouc , see Hultschiner Ländchen ) - in 1857 around 400 Moravians in addition to 1200 Polish-speaking members of the parish, although many linguists categorize the local dialect of the Polish-Silesian dialect as the dialect of the narrow Silesian-Lachian border area on the left bank of the Oder the dialects in Tworków (Tworkau) and Bieńkowice (Benkowitz) even belong to the Lachish language. In 1865 Ruderswald consisted of a manor and a community. At that time the place had nine farms, five half-farmers, twelve gardeners and 35 cottages, as well as a school with 99 students and a wooden church.

In the referendum in Upper Silesia on March 20, 1921, 354 local voters voted for Upper Silesia to remain with Germany and 115 for membership in Poland. Ruderswald remained with the German Empire after the division of Upper Silesia . Until 1945 the place was in the district of Ratibor .

In 1945 the formerly German town came under Polish administration and was then joined to the Silesian Voivodeship and renamed the Polish Rudyszwałd . From 1950 the place belonged to the Opole Voivodeship, from 1975 to the Katowice Voivodeship, and since 1999 it has been part of the re-established Powiat Raciborski and the Silesian Voivodeship.
