history

The Lysack , which only consists of a few small farms, was founded on February 24, 1811 according to the contract. The economic development of the village suffered from poor soil conditions. Actually, it was only the expansion of the Röbla river (Polish : Lejkowska Struga ) in connection with the regulatory measures of the Omulef River (Polish: Omulew ) in the 1930s that enabled an increase in soil yields. In 1939 there were five farms in Kahlfelde.

Between 1874 and 1945, the rural community Lysack was in the District United Lattana (Polish Latana Wielka incorporated), which - for - 1938 "District Großheidenau" renamed East Prussian district Szczytno belonged. In 1910 Lysack had 32 inhabitants.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population voted in the referendums in East and West Prussia on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Lysack, 15 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not cast any votes.

On December 6, 1933, Lysack was renamed "Kahlfelde". The population in the same year was 25, in 1939 32.
