The place originated in the 13th century at the latest and was first mentioned in 1276 as Sobischowitz . It was mentioned when its owner, Count Peter von Slaventaw, sold it to his compatriot Hermann. The village was also suspended under Franconian and German law. 1302 followed a mention as Peterkowicz . The Gliwice suburb around the Old St. Bartholomew's Church from the 13th century was the place of activity of the Knights Templar in the Middle Ages . 1295–1305 the place was mentioned in a document as “Novo Sobyssowitz” in the Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis ( Tithe Register of the Diocese of Wroclaw ).

The place was mentioned in 1783 in the book Beytrage to describe Silesia as Petersdorf , was in the district of Tost and consisted of two parts. One part had 186 inhabitants, ten farmers, 23 gardeners, a Catholic church and a school. The other part belonged to the city of Gliwice and had two farms, 199 residents, 21 farmers, 14 gardeners and three cottagers. In 1818 the place was mentioned as Petersdorf . In 1865 the towns of Petersdorf and Petersdorf von Welczek existed . Urban Petersdorf had 17 farms, 14 gardeners and 39 cottagers at that time. The Catholic school was established in 1781, rebuilt in 1826 and expanded in 1842. In 1865 it had 230 students. Petersdorf von Welczek had two stately farms, a factory, twelve farmers, ten gardeners and 42 cottagers. It was only with the onset of industrialization in the 18th and 19th centuries that the population rose by leaps and bounds.

On April 1, 1897, the rural communities Petersdorf and Trynek were incorporated into the new urban district of Gleiwitz, previously Petersdorf was a Prussian community in the district of Tost-Gleiwitz . As a district of Gleiwitz, the place was expanded several times.

In 1945 the formerly German town came under Polish administration and was then attached to the Silesian Voivodeship and renamed the Polish Szobiszowice . In 1950 the place came to the Katowice Voivodeship . In 1999 the place became part of the new Silesian Voivodeship. In February 2008 the eastern part of Szobiszowice, the so-called "Stadtwaldviertel", became the new independent district of Zatorze .
