history

The founding year of Dembowitz (after 1785 also Dembowietz ) is 1617. Dembowitz was known nationwide due to the particularly high volume of lawn iron ore .

233 residents were registered in Dembowitz in 1910. In 1933 there were 243.

On August 1, 1935, Dembowitz was renamed "Eichenau". The population was 210 in 1939.

As a result of the war, Eichenau came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia .
