Geographical location

history

Wappendorf was first mentioned in 1388 in a boundary description of the 350 Hufen property of Philip von Wildenau . With his residence Schubertsgut (no longer existing), Wappendorf was incorporated into the newly established district of Mensguth ( Dźwierzuty in Polish ) in the East Prussian district of Ortelsburg in 1874. In 1910 Wappendorf had 560 inhabitants, in 1933 520, and in 1939 only 484.

Based on the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Wappendorf belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Wappendorf, 426 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

As a result of the war, Wappendorf came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name “Łupowo”. Today the village is the seat of a Schulzenamt (Polish Sołectwo ) in the network of the rural community Dźwierzuty (Mensguth) in the Powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship . In 2011 Łupowo had 198 inhabitants.
