Woszczyce ( German Woschczytz , Woschütz , Czech Voštice ) is the south-westernmost and oldest district with a Schulzenamt of Orzesze in the Powiat Mikołowski of the Silesian Voivodeship in Poland .
history
According to a chronicler from the 16th century, the local parish was built in 1003 and the first church was built around 1150 by Peter a Woschczutzki . The parish of Woskic was first mentioned in the Peterspfennigregister of 1326 in the Auschwitz Dean's Office of the Krakow diocese .
The place is located on the western edge of the sub-area of Upper Silesia , which until 1177/1178 belonged to Lesser Poland or to the Duchy of Krakow and then came to the Duchy of Ratibor , which was ruled by the Silesian Piasts . It was from this time that it belonged to the Diocese of Krakow until 1821 (then to the Diocese of Breslau , from 1925 to the Diocese of Katowice ). In 1237 Konrad I wanted to found a Cistercian monastery in the village, but the construction was never completed because of the Mongol storm in 1241 - in the end, the Rauden monastery was built in Rudy (Groß Rauden) , north of Racibórz (Ratibor) .
The Duchy of Opole-Ratibor was divided in 1281 after the death of Wladislaus I von Opole and in the end Woszczyce remained with the Duchy of Ratibor. In 1327 Duke Lestko gave his duchy as a fief to the Crown of Bohemia . After the death of Duke Lestko in 1336, it fell together with the Duchy of Ratibor as a settled fiefdom to Bohemia. In 1337, the Bohemian King John of Luxembourg transferred the Duchy of Ratibor again as a fief to Nicholas II of Opava , who came from the Opava branch of the Přemyslids . His eldest son Johann I received the Duchy of Ratibor as the sole heir in 1365 and founded the Přemyslid family line of Troppau-Ratibor .
In the later 15th century, during the Hungarian-Bohemian War, the area around Pless was ruled by Duke Casimir II of Teschen . On February 21, 1517, the village of Wossticzeo (the sales document was in Czech) was sold to Alexius von Thurzo with Pless from Pless .
After the death of King Ludwig II , the crown of Bohemia and with it Silesia came to the Habsburgs in 1526 . They were sovereigns of Silesia in their capacity as kings of Bohemia. According to the report of the visitation of the Kraków archdeacon Krzysztof Kazimirski in 1598, the church was in Protestant hands.
After the First Silesian War and the preliminary peace in Breslau , Woschczytz and most of Silesia fell to Prussia . From 1816 it belonged to the district of Pless , with which it remained connected until 1922. From 1836 the village belonged to Franz von Winckler and remained in the family until 1945.
In the referendum in Upper Silesia on the future membership of Upper Silesia in 1921, 186 out of 299 voters voted for Poland, 113 votes for Germany.
After the Polish annexation of Eastern Upper Silesia in 1922, Woszczyce belonged to Poland. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II .
In 1975 it was incorporated into the town of Orzesze in the Katowice Voivodeship .
