Riegersdorf was founded in the middle of the 13th century as a forest hoof village in the border forest between Moravia and Silesia in the course of the German settlement in the east . It was probably named after the locator (1464 Rudigersdorf ). In 1534 it was mentioned as Rügertstorff .

After most of the residents had become Protestant in the 16th century, the Counter-Reformation meant that only a minority was Protestant. The church has been used by Catholics since 1629.

After the First Silesian War in 1742, Riegersdorf and most of Silesia came to Prussia .

In 1803 a new church was built in the village. After the reorganization of the province of Silesia , the rural community of Riegersdorf, which was divided into the two districts of Graeflich Riegersdorf and Riegersdorf- Teil, belonged to the district of Neustadt OS in the administrative district of Opole from 1816 . In 1845 there was an Erbscholtisei, a Protestant school, a Vorwerk and 70 houses in Riegersdorf. In the same year Riegersdorf-Antheil had 491 inhabitants, 96 of them Protestants. In 1865 Gräflich Riegersdorf had a Catholic parish church, a Catholic school, a Protestant school and 163 houses. In the same year, Graeflich Riegersdorf had 1,188 inhabitants, of which 339 were Protestants. In 1855, 1706 people lived in both districts. In 1865 there were a total of 26 farmer, 35 half-farmer, 32 gardener and 139 housekeeper positions as well as a mill in Riegersdorf. In the same year, the Catholic school was attended by 218 pupils and the Protestant school by 100 pupils. The evangelical believers were parish in Schnellewalde. In 1874 the district of Riegersdorf was founded, which consisted of the rural communities of Schweinsdorf, Steinau Dorf and Steinau Städtel and the Schweinsdorf estate. The first head of office was the economic inspector Moritz Göllner. On June 12, 1874, the two parts of Graeflich Riegersdorf and Riegersdorf-Antheil merged to form the rural community of Riegersdorf . In 1885 Riegersdorf had 1537 inhabitants.

From 1910 the evangelical believers were paired up to Dittmannsdorf. The denominational division later made itself felt in the results of political elections. In the elections for the National Assembly on January 19, 1919, 69% voted for the center , 10% for the SPD and 20% for the DNVP .

In 1933 there were 1235 people in Riegersdorf. On April 1, 1938, the rural community of Siebenhuben was incorporated into Riegersdorf. In 1939 there were 1460 people living in the village. Until 1945 the place was in the district of Neustadt OS

In mid-March 1945 Riegersdorf was badly affected by violent fighting during the Upper Silesian operation and was conquered by the Red Army . 113 residents are said to have died and 13 more died of typhus . Then the previously German place Schweinsdorf came under Polish administration and was renamed Rudziczka and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. In the summer of 1946 all remaining German residents were expelled . The place was settled by Polish expellees from eastern Poland and immigrants from central Poland and was given the name Rudziczka . In 1950 the place came to the Opole Voivodeship . In 1999 the place came to the powiat Prudnicki .
