history

In 1563 the small village of Dannowen was founded. The neighboring village of Willudtken (1938–1945 Heydeck, Polish Wyłudki ) was incorporated. From 1874 to 1945 the village was in the District United Konopken incorporated (Polish Konopki Wielkie), who - in 1938 District Hanffen to - renamed county Lötzen in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905-1945 Administrative district Allenstein ) the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged. From 1874 to 1945 Dannowen - the village was called Dannen from 1938 - was also included in the registry office Groß Konopken / Hanffen.

In 1910, Dannowen had 132 residents. Their number was constant in 1933 and amounted to 139 in 1939.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Dannowen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Dannowen, 100 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not cast any votes.

As a result of the war, the place came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and has since borne the Polish name form Danowo . It is now the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish sołectwo ) and belongs as a district to the rural community Miłki (Milken) in the powiat Giżycki ( Lötzen district ), until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
