history

The area around the later Striegendorf was already settled in pre-Christian times. To the north of the village, ramparts from the early Iron Age (800 - 500 BC) have been preserved. "Stregindorf" was first mentioned in 1343 when it was acquired by the city of Grottkau. Together with her, it came to the episcopal principality of Neisse a year later . In 1379 it was mentioned again as Stregindorf . In 1381 the knight Vincent, who was also heir to Kühschmalz , owned an allod in Striegendorf. In 1579 the Vorwerk belonged to Joachim von Rothkirch . In the Thirty Years' War Striegendorf was completely devastated. At that time, Hans Georg von Seidlitz owned goods in Striegendorf.

After the First Silesian War in 1742, Striegendorf and most of the Principality of Neisse fell to Prussia .

After the reorganization of the province of Silesia , the rural community of Striegendorf belonged to the district of Grottkau in the administrative district of Opole from 1816 . In 1845 there was a castle, an outer works, a chapel, a brewery and 64 other houses in the village. In the same year, 304 people lived in Striegendorf, 14 of them Protestants. In 1855 there were 443 people in Striegendorf. In the same year a school was set up in town. In 1865 there were 22 gardeners and 18 cottagers as well as a water mill and a windmill in the village . The Catholic school was attended by 86 students in the same year. In 1874 the Striebendorf district was formed, which also included the rural communities of Gührau, Niklasdorf, and Würben and the manor districts of Gührau, Niklasdorf, Striegendorf and Würben. In 1885 Striegendorf had 317 inhabitants.

In 1933 352 people lived in Striegendorf, in 1939 there were 311. Until the end of the war in 1945 the place belonged to the district of Grottkau .
