Dobieszowice ([dɔbjɛʂɔˈvit͡sɛ], additional name in German: Dobersdorf)[1] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Walce, within Krapkowice County, Opole Voivodeship, in southern Poland.[2]

History

Historically, the village was known in Polish as Dobieszowice, Dobierzów and Dobieszowo.[3][4] The name is derived from the Old Polish male name Dobiesław.[4]

In the Upper Silesian Plebiscite on March 20, 1921, 304 votes were given for the village to stay part of Germany, while 85 were given for the village to rejoin Poland.[5] Accordingly, Dobersdorf stayed part of Weimar Germany.
