history
The village was first mentioned in a document in 1300 in the Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis . The name is derived from the Slavic word Tuly and roughly means place of refuge .
In 1742 Thule and most of Silesia fell to Prussia .
After the reorganization of the province of Silesia , the rural community Thule belonged from 1816 to the district of Rosenberg OS in the administrative district of Opole . In 1845 there was a castle, a castle chapel, a blast furnace, an outbuilding and 32 other houses in the village. In the same year 417 people lived in Thule, 26 of them Protestant and eleven Jewish. The Catholic Church of Our Lady of Sorrows was built in the village between 1854 and 1857 based on a design by the Silesian architect Alexis Langer . The church was donated by the squire Eduard von Blacha . On June 5, 1858, Thule was raised to the parish seat. Before that, the Derf was parish in Groß Lassowitz. From 1874 the district of Thule was founded, which consisted of the rural communities Marienfeld and Thule and the manor district of Thule. The first head of office was the manor owner Baron von Fürstenberg in Thule.
In the referendum in Upper Silesia on March 20, 1921, 132 voters in Thule voted to remain with Germany and 25 for Poland, in the manor district there were 174 for Germany and three for Poland. Thule remained with the German Empire . In 1925 567 people lived in the village. In 1928 the manor district was incorporated into the rural community of Thule. In 1933 Thule had 489 inhabitants. On April 1, 1939, Thule was incorporated into Kiefernwalde . Until 1945 the place was in the district of Rosenberg OS
In 1945 the previously German town of Thule came under Polish administration and was renamed Tuły and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. From 1945 to 1975 the place was in the powiat Oleski. In 1950 the place came to the Opole Voivodeship . In 1999 the place came to the powiat Kluczborski . Since August 16, 2010 the place bears the German name Thule as an additional official place name.
