history

Originally the village of Spieglowken consisted of several small farms. In 1820 the place is mentioned as "a noble village with 9 fireplaces". When the district Rehstall ( Polish: Stachowizna ) was formed on April 30, 1874 , Spieglowken was incorporated. The administrative district was renamed in 1938 to the “ Amt District Pülz ” and belonged to the district of Rastenburg in the administrative district of Königsberg in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

On September 30, 1928, the new rural community Spiegels (Polish Śpigiel ) was formed from the rural community Spieglowken, the forest house Spiegels-Korschen ( Polish: Grzybowo ), and the Vorwerk Spiegels-Jeesau and Spiegels-Langheim . As a part of this municipality, Spieglowken was renamed “Spiegelswalde” on June 3 (officially confirmed on July 16) 1938.

As a result of the war, the place came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name “Śpiglówka”. Today the village is part of the urban and rural community Reszel (Rößel) in the powiat Kętrzyński ( Rastenburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
