history

In 1402 the village was established as Vorwerk a manor and was Sukowitz called. However, there is an earlier mention of 1293 as Sucowicz.

In the referendum on March 20, 1921, 137 eligible voters voted to remain with Germany and 72 for Poland. Suckowitz remained with the German Empire. From 1933 onwards, the new National Socialist rulers carried out large-scale renaming of place names of Slavic origin. In 1936 the place was renamed Mühlengrund . Until 1945 the place was in the district of Cosel .

In 1945 the previously German place came under Polish administration, was renamed Sukowice and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. In 1950 the place became part of the Opole Voivodeship and in 1999 the re-established Powiat Kędzierzyńsko-Kozielski . On October 11, 2007, the place was also given the official German place name Suckowitz , and in September 2008 bilingual place name signs were put up.

In 2017, a mass grave with the bones of around 100 fallen German soldiers from the end of the Second World War was uncovered in a field near Suckowitz on the road to Langlieben . The exhumed bones are to be moved to the German military cemetery in Groß Nädlitz near Breslau.
