The town became part of the Kingdom of Prussia in 1742, after the First Silesian War. During the Seven Years' War from 1756 to 1763, it was burned to the ground. In January 1871, the town, known in German as "Kieferstädtel" became part of the German Empire and was located in the Tost-Gleiwitz district in the Prussian Province of Silesia. In the 1921 Upper Silesia plebiscite, 78.3% of the residents of Kieferstädtel voted to remain in Germany. During the Kristallnacht in 1938, the wooden buildings on the small Jewish cemetery southeast of Kieferstädtel were burned down. At that time, however, there were no longer any Jews living in the town.
