history
On November 17, 1295, a place called "Symanovicz" was first mentioned in a document. However, no distinction was made between large and small Schimnitz. The document was drawn up in Wroclaw. In a document from June 23, 1330 written in Krappitz, the place is mentioned as "Semitz". In 1397 the place was mentioned as Maj. Semicz .
In the 15th century, the Count of Proskau, who then resided in Klein Schimnitz, built a Catholic church and dedicated it to John the Baptist. In a document of July 8th, 1586, which was written in Prague, the place is mentioned in connection with an Oderzoll belonging to the place with the spelling "Schembniz".
In 1784 the place, which at that time belonged to the Proskau rulership, had 21 farmers, 13 gardeners, a farm, a school and a Catholic church.
In 1818 Groß Schimnitz had 21 farmers, 13 gardeners, a farm, a Catholic school and a Catholic church with a rectory. In 1845 there were 482 residents in the village who were completely Catholic. In 1865 the place had 24 farmers, 13 gardeners, six cottagers and 21 residents. There were also two merchants, two Kretschmer (innkeepers), two millers, two blacksmiths and five groats resident in the village. At that time the Catholic school had 261 students and two classes.
In the referendum in Upper Silesia on March 20, 1921, 343 eligible voters voted to remain in Germany and 172 to belong to Poland. Groß Schimnitz remained with the German Empire . In 1933 there were 710 inhabitants. On May 19, 1936, the place was renamed Groß Schimmendorf . In 1939 the place had 712 inhabitants. At the end of January 1945, at the time of what is now known as the Upper Silesian Tragedy , the Red Army murdered 164 residents after their invasion of Groß Schimmendorf, looted their houses and set them on fire. Pastor Karl Brommer (* 1911) was also one of the victims. Until 1945 the place was in the district of Opole .
In 1945 the previously German place came under Polish administration and was renamed Ziemnice Wielkie and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. In 1950 the place came to the Opole Voivodeship . During the flood of the century in 1997 , the fields east of the village were completely flooded. In 1999 the place came to the re-established Powiat Opolski . On October 7, 2004 the place name was changed to Zimnice Wielkie . On July 11, 2006, German was introduced as the second official language in the community of Proskau, which Groß Schimnitz belongs to. On April 30, 2010, the place was also given the official German place name Groß Schimnitz .
