Sośnicowice, Municipality in Silesian Voivodeship, Poland

Located 8 kilometers southwest of Gliwice, Kieferstädtel sits at an elevation of 250 meters between the Kłodnica and Bierawka rivers.

First documented in 1305 as Soßnessowitz, the settlement received town rights from Ferdinand I in 1526 after residents cleared the surrounding forest.

The municipality implements bilingual naming conventions in Polish and German, reflecting the historical presence of both linguistic communities in the region.

The town maintains direct road connections to Gliwice and Kędzierzyn-Koźle, with the international Katowice airport located within 40 kilometers.

The late Baroque castle from 1755 and Gothic parish church of St James stand as central architectural elements of the municipal landscape.
