history

Andreas Church

In the work Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis from the years 1295-1305, the place is first mentioned as Woytitz . The place name Woyczycz has been handed down for the year 1418 . For 1495 there is evidence that Polish was still spoken in the village. The Bishop of Breslau then ordered the German language to be introduced in Woitz.

After the First Silesian War in 1742, Woitz and most of Silesia fell to Prussia .

After the reorganization of the province of Silesia , the rural community Woitz belonged to the district of Grottkau in the administrative district of Opole from 1816 . In 1845 there was a Scholtisei, a Catholic church, a Catholic school, a wooden watchmaking shop, an inn and 177 other houses in the village. In the same year 996 people lived in Woitz, three of them Protestants. In 1855 1050 people lived in Woitz. In 1865 there were 27 farmers, 35 gardeners and 71 cottagers in the village . The three-class school was attended by 283 students in the same year. In 1874 the district of Woitz was established, to which the rural communities of Bschauschwitz and Woitz and the manor districts of Tschauschwitz and Woitz belonged. In 1885 Woitz had 1247 inhabitants.

In 1933 1027 people lived in Woitz. On July 22, 1936, the place was renamed Eichenau OS in the course of a wave of renaming of the Nazi era . In 1939, 993 people lived in Eichenau OS. Until the end of the war in 1945, the place belonged to the Grottkau district .

As a result of the Second World War, Eichenau OS fell under Polish administration in 1945, like most of Silesia . It was subsequently renamed Wojcice and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. The German population was largely expelled . In 1947 the place name was changed to Wójcice. In 1950 it was incorporated into the Opole Voivodeship. In 1999 the place came to the re-established Powiat Nyski . On January 1, 2018, Wójcice was incorporated into the city of Otmuchow.
