history

Atonement Cross

The village of Friedewald was abandoned around 1237 under German law by the Neisse mayor Peter. In the work Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis from the years 1295-1305, the place is mentioned for the first time as Vridewalde . In 1369 it was mentioned as Fredewald . In 1545 a church was built in the village.

After the First Silesian War in 1742, Friedewalde and most of Silesia fell to Prussia .

After the reorganization of the province of Silesia , the rural community Friedewalde belonged from 1816 to the district of Grottkau in the administrative district of Opole . In 1845 there was a Catholic parish church, a Catholic school, a castle, an outbuilding, a distillery, a distillery, a mill, a Scholtisei and 164 other houses in the village. In the same year, 826 people lived in Friedewalde, seven of them Catholic. In 1855 there were 1,026 people in Friedewalde. In 1865 there were 68 farmers, 28 gardeners and 19 cottagers in the village . The two-class Catholic school was attended by 220 students in the same year. In 1874 the Friedewald district was founded, which consisted of the rural communities Friedewalde and Groß Briesen and the Friedewalde manor district. The first head of office was the manor owner Major a. D. Szmula. In 1885 Friedewalde had 947 inhabitants.

In 1933 there were 1,026 people in Friedewalde and 1,012 in 1939. Until the end of the war in 1945, the place belonged to the district of Grottkau .

Friedewalde was captured by Soviet soldiers on February 5, 1945. Before that, heavy fighting took place around Friedewald and the surrounding area. Numerous buildings, including the Catholic parish church and the castle, were destroyed. Then in 1945 Friedewalde fell under Polish administration, like most of Silesia . It was subsequently renamed Kubinów and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. The German population was largely expelled . In 1947 the place was renamed Skoroszyce . In 1950 it was incorporated into the Opole Voivodeship. In 1999 the place came to the re-established Powiat Nyski . In 2011, 1,452 people lived in the village.
