After the First Silesian War in 1742, Waschelwitz came with most of Silesia to Prussia .

After the reorganization of the province of Silesia , the rural community of Waschelwitz belonged to the district of Neustadt OS in the administrative district of Opole from 1816 . In 1845 there was a weaving mill, a forge and 44 other houses in the village. In the same year, 253 people lived in Waschelwitz, all of them Catholic. In 1855, 277 people lived in Waschelwitz. In 1865 there were nine farmers, 13 gardeners and 17 cottages in the village . The residents of Zülz were trained and parish. In 1874 the district of Zülz-Land was founded, which consisted of the rural communities of Zülz Altstadt, Grabine, Groß Pramsen, Ottok, Schönowitz and Waschelwitz. In 1885, Waschelwitz had 300 inhabitants.

In the referendum in Upper Silesia on March 20, 1921, Waschelwitz was outside the voting area. In 1933 there were 293 inhabitants. From 1933 onwards, the new National Socialist rulers carried out large-scale renaming of place names of Slavic origin. On August 18, 1936, Waschelwitz was renamed Tiefengrund . With the dissolution of the Zülz-Land district, Tiefengrund came to the Lößtal district in 1938 . In 1939 the place had 283 inhabitants. Until 1945 the place was in the district of Neustadt OS
