history

The little before 1785 Gronden after 1787 Worfen base and after 1876 Worffengrund called village consisted of several small farms and homesteads and was founded in the 1787th In the founding festival on June 7, 1787, land was given to six men who had lived here as early as 1777.

In 1874, Worfengrund was incorporated into the newly established district of Materschobensee ( Polish: Sasek Wielki ) in the East Prussian district of Ortelsburg . From around 1930 it was the "District Maldanietz " (Polish Małdaniec ) which was renamed in 1938 in "District Maldanen".

In 1910 the rural community of Worfengrund had 90 inhabitants.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Worfengrund belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Wurfgrund, 80 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.

After the establishment of the Maldanietz (Maldanen) - Worfengrund drainage cooperative in 1927, economic development could be increased: the Waldpusch river was regulated, its further expansion took place in 1938 up to the Omulef (Polish: Omulew ). 30% more land area than in 1927 could then be used for agriculture. The use of the previously worked land has also been improved.

In 1933 145 inhabitants were registered in Worfengrund, in 1939 there were 104.

When all of southern East Prussia was surrendered to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war , Worfengrund was also affected. The village was given the Polish form of the name "Czarkowy Grądy" and is today - with the seat of a Schulzenamt (Polish Sołectwo ) - a village in the rural community Szczytno (Ortelsburg) in the powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then the Voivodeship Belonging to Warmia-Masuria . In 2011, 84 inhabitants were registered in Czarkowy Grąd.
