The name is derived from the Polish word szum ( wind shower ).

In 1845 the village consisted of a Catholic church, a farm and another 25 houses. In the same year 286 people lived in Schumm, 44 of them Protestants.

In 1874 the administrative district Jagdschloss Bodland was founded, to which Schumm belonged.

In 1925 506 people lived in Schumm, in 1933 587 people. On July 29, 1936, the village name was changed to Forstheim . On April 1, 1939, Forstheim was incorporated into the community of Stoberbrück . Until 1945 the village belonged to the district of Rosenberg OS

As a result of the Second World War, Schumm fell under Polish administration in 1945, like most of Silesia . Subsequently, the place was renamed Szum and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. In 1950 it was incorporated into the Opole Voivodeship. In 1999 the place came to the newly founded Powiat Kluczborski ( Kreuzburg district ).
