history

Woisselsdorf was founded in 1250 as a settlement under German law. The place name is derived from the founder of the village, the village of Woislaw . In 1315 the place was mentioned as Woysli villa . In 1343 "Woyslai villa" was acquired by the city of Grottkau, with whom it came to the clerical principality of Neisse a year later . In 1344 the Kamenz monastery acquired rights in the Neiss principality. As a result, several villages in the Grottkauischen, u. a. Woisselsdorf, pay their tithe to the monastery. In 1374 Johannes von Rohrau had property in Woisseldorf. According to the Registrum Wratislaviense ( Breslauer Register ) for the years 1421-1425, "Woyslendorf" was still owned by a Mr. Rohrau, who received the income for life. In 1579 it belonged to the Breslau vicarages .

After the First Silesian War in 1742 Woisselsdorf coincided with the Duchy of Nysa to Prussia . After the reorganization of the province of Silesia , the rural community Woisselsdorf belonged to the district of Grottkau in the administrative district of Opole from 1816 .

In 1840 a school building was built in the village. In 1845 there was a Catholic church, a Catholic school, a distillery and 76 other houses in the village. In the same year, 470 people lived in Woisseldorf, seven of them Protestants. In 1855 there were 467 people in Woisselsdorf. In 1865 there were 16 farmers, two half-farmers, 15 gardeners and 20 cottagers in the village . The one-class Catholic school was attended by 80 students in the same year. In 1874 the district of Lichtenberg was founded, which consisted of the rural communities Herzogswalde, Lichtenberg and Woisselsdorf and the manor districts of Herzogswalde and Herzogswalde (Sorgau). In 1885 Woisselsdorf had 433 inhabitants.

In 1933 the village had 304 and in 1939 314 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, Woisselsdorf fell under Polish administration in 1945, like most of Silesia . It was subsequently renamed Wojsław 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 ).
