From 1767 onwards, by royal order, checks were carried out to see whether “establishments” could be set up in the Lattanabruch. A corresponding plan for implementation was presented in 1782, which the king approved on October 31, 1785 - on the condition: “The settlements do not have to be laid out as closed villages, but rather the houses have to be placed at a certain distance from the Polish border ... apart become". Work began in 1794. As early as 1795/96 the establishments were in the making, and in 1801 Groß Lattana was finished. It was made up of small farms scattered around.
