history

Troplowitz's coat of arms around 1855

The first mention of the village of Oppawicz comes from the year 1256. The place in the Oppauer Land, which was then part of Moravia , came to Silesia with the creation of the Duchy of Oppawicz and belonged to the Duchy of Jägerndorf between 1377 and 1410 . The customs station on the Goldoppa , which has been verifiable since 1377 , led to the creation of a town south of the village around 1400 that enjoyed the privileges of a mountain town . His market rights were confirmed in 1410 by Duke Přemysl I of Troppau . In the same year Oppawicz came into the possession of the von Bladen together with the Geppersdorf estate.

With the founding of the city of Olbersdorf three kilometers northwest of Troplowitz in 1492, the city's development opportunities were severely restricted. The Reformation was introduced in the city around 1550 . With the transfer of rule to the von Haugwitz family during the Thirty Years War , the re-Catholicization took place . In 1700 Geppersdorf and Troplowitz came to the Count Sedlnitzky von Choltitz .

The conquest of most of Silesia by Prussia in 1742 led to a border being drawn right through the town. Most of the city with the market square and parish church as well as part of the village became Prussian. The districts to the right of the Goldoppa remained with Austria. The part of the village that remained with Austria was now called the village of Tropplowitz and later only called Tropplowitz to distinguish it from the Prussian Tropplowitz city . In 1991 the place had 127 inhabitants. In 2001 the village consisted of 42 houses in which 114 people lived.
