history

The small and before 1823 Zankmichel , after 1823 Zankenicht called Gutsort was mentioned in 1818 as a "forest house" with a single fireplace for 12 souls, in 1839 as a combing property of the city of Rhine with four fireplaces for 40 souls. In 1874 he was appointed to the newly created District Orlen ( Polish Orlo incorporated), which - in 1938 in the district of Arlen renamed - existed until 1945 and the county Lötzen in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905-1945 Administrative district Allenstein ) the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged.

Between 1874 and 1913 Waldhof belonged to the registry office in Orlen , then until 1945 to the registry office of the city of Rhine . In 1910 the Waldhof manor district had 74 inhabitants. Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Waldhof belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Waldhof, 60 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes. On September 30, 1928, Waldhof lost its independence and was incorporated into the rural community of Orlen (1938–1945 Arlen).

As a result of the war, the small town came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and has been called Canki in Polish ever since . Today it is included in the Schulzenamt ( Polish sołectwo ) Tros ( German Trossen ) and thus a place in the network of the urban and rural community Ryn (Rhine) in the powiat Giżycki ( Lötzen district ), until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then the Warmia Voivodeship Masuria belonging.
