Szobiszowice (German: Petersdorf) is a neighborhood of the Polish city of Gliwice in Upper Silesia.
The village was first mentioned in 1276 through the divestiture of its owner Graf Peter von Slaventaw, who sold the village to the new lord of Petersdorf, Hermann. The old Church of St. Bartholomew was built in this suburb of Gleiwitz in the 13th century and was a place of activity for the Knights Templar. The population in this area exploded in the 18th and 19th centuries due to this area's industrialization.
The communities of Petersdorf and Trynek were incorporated in the municipal area of Gleiwitz on April 1, 1897. Before this incorporation, Petersdorf was a Prussian area in the Landkreis Tost-Gleiwitz. As a neighborhood of Gleiwitz the area experienced further expansion. In February 2008 the eastern section of Szobiszowice became a new neighboord known as Zatorze.
