history

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

After the reorganization of the province of Silesia , the rural community Albrechtsdorf belonged to the district of Rosenberg OS in the administrative district of Opole from 1816 . In 1845 there was a Catholic school, a forestry, a distillery, a brewery, a lime kiln, a sawmill and 93 houses in the village. In the same year, 772 people lived in Albrechtsdorf, nine of them Jewish. At that time the Bialer Mühle, Borek, Dworzanski, Ewaldshütte, Kiemühle, Walchermühle, Pieklermühle and the Schlossmühle belonged to Albrechtsdorf. In 1855 the village numbered 848 people. In 1874 the Albrechtshof district was founded, which consisted of the rural communities Albrechtsdorf, Alt Rosenberg and Lowoschau and the manor districts of Albrechtsdorf, Alt Rosenberg, Lowoschau and Walzen. In 1885 Albrechtsdorf had 606 inhabitants.

In the referendum in Upper Silesia on March 20, 1921, 246 people eligible to vote voted for Upper Silesia to remain with Germany and 248 for membership of Poland. At Gut Albrechtsdorf, 125 voted for Germany and 69 for Poland. Albrechtsdorf remained with the German Empire after the division of Upper Silesia . In 1925 Albrechtsdorf had 1002 and in 1933 979 inhabitants. On April 1, 1939, Albrechtsdorf was incorporated into the rural community of Alt-Rosenberg . Until 1945 the place was in the district of Rosenberg .

In 1945 the formerly German town came under Polish administration and was then attached to the Silesian Voivodeship and renamed the Polish Wojciechów . A labor camp was set up in the village as early as May 1945. Civilians, prisoners of war and members of the NSDAP were held here. In summer 1945 the camp counted 900 prisoners, including 200 children. In 1950 the place came to the Opole Voivodeship and in 1975 to the Czestochowa Voivodeship. In 1999 the place came to the re-established Powiat Oleski and again to the Opole Voivodeship.
