history
The place was created in the 13th century at the latest. 1295-1305 the place was mentioned together with Klein Schierakowitz in the Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis ( tithe register of the diocese of Wroclaw ) as "Syracowitz theutonico" or "Syracowitz polonicum".
The place was mentioned in 1783 in the book Beytrage describing Silesia as Groß Schierakowi (t) z , was in the Tost district and had 297 inhabitants, a farm, 16 farmers, 30 gardeners, a few cottagers and a Catholic church. In 1818 the place was mentioned as Groß Schierakowitz . In 1865, Groß Schierakowitz consisted of a village community and a manorial estate. A massive hunting lodge belonged to the manor district. At that time the village had ten farm positions, 20 gardener positions, 13 quarter farm positions and 22 cottage industry positions. There was also a shoemaker, two tailors, a carpenter, two wheelwright, two bricklayers, four blacksmiths, four food dealers, three peddlers, a bartender and two potters. A brick factory had existed since 1854.
In the referendum in Upper Silesia on March 20, 1921, 132 eligible voters voted for Upper Silesia to remain with Germany and 229 for membership in Poland. Schierakowitz remained after the division of Upper Silesia with the German Empire . On January 1, 1931, the rural communities Groß Schierakowitz and Klein Schierakowitz were merged to form the rural community Schierakowitz. On February 12, 1936, the place was renamed Graumannsdorf in the wake of a wave of renaming during the Nazi era . Until 1945 the place was in the district of Tost-Gleiwitz .
In 1945 the until then German place came under Polish administration and was then attached to the Silesian Voivodeship and renamed the Polish Sierakowice .
