history

"Vincecomirici", a foundation under German law, was first mentioned in 1245. In 1261 there was another mention in a document from Duke Heinrich III of Breslau . At that time, the Lubusz Bishop Wilhelm I acquired 8 ½ Franconian Hufen in Winzenberg, which previously belonged to Count Grabissa. In 1276 Winzenberg is also recorded in the tithes register of the Kamenz monastery . In 1282 it was mentioned as Vincemericz , in 1315 again as Wintmeritz . In 1343 Winzenberg with the castle of the same name and a mill was acquired by the city of Grottkau. Together with Grottkau it came to the clerical principality of Neisse in 1344 . In 1372 the village was mentioned as Wyntmericz . In 1579 the Vorwerk was owned by the Baltzer Rothkirch . Wenzelslaus von Rothkirch had the St. Bartholomew Church built in 1621.

After the First Silesian War in 1742, Winzenberg and most of Silesia fell to Prussia . In 1776 the Winzenberg Castle was destroyed by fire.

In 1810 the principality of Neisse was secularized . After the reorganization of the province of Silesia , the rural community Winzenberg belonged from 1816 to the district of Grottkau in the administrative district of Opole . In 1845 there was a Catholic church, a Catholic school, an estate, a farm and 123 other houses in the village. In the same year, 687 people lived in Winzenberg, all of them Catholic. In 1855 there were 726 people in Winzenberg. In 1865 there were 11 farmers, three quarter farmers, 45 gardeners and 15 cottages in the village . The two-class Catholic school was attended by 113 students in the same year. In 1874 the district of Winzenberg was founded, which consisted of the rural communities of Koppendorf and Winzenberg and the manor districts of Koppendorf and Winzenberg. The first head of office was the economic inspector Lamla. Around 1880 the village came into the possession of the von Schaffgotsch family . In 1885 Winzenberg had 698 inhabitants.

In 1933 the village had 657 and in 1939 684 inhabitants. Until the end of the war in 1945, the place belonged to the district of Grottkau .

As a result of the Second World War, Winzenberg fell under Polish administration in 1945, like most of Silesia. It was subsequently renamed Więcmierzyce and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. In 1950 it was incorporated into the Opole Voivodeship. In 1999 the place came to the newly founded Powiat Brzeski ( Brieg district ).
