history

The small village once called Dobrowolla was founded between 1818 and 1839. From 1874 to 1945 the place was incorporated into the Gorlowken district (in Polish Gorłówko ), which - renamed Gorlau District in 1939 - belonged to the Lyck district in the Gumbinnen district (1905–1945 Allenstein district ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia . During the same period Dobrowolla was assigned to the Gorlowken registry office .

In 1910, 161 residents were registered in Dobrowolla. The number decreased to 143 by 1933.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Dobrowolla belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Dobrowolla, 120 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.

On August 30, 1935 Dobrowolla was from political and ideological reasons, to avoid foreign-sounding names renamed in Willheim . The number of inhabitants was 114 in 1939.

As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of name Dobra Wola . Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish sołectwo ) and thus a village in the rural community of Stare Juchy (Alt Jucha , 1938–1945 Fließdorf) in the powiat Ełcki ( Lyck district ), until 1998 of the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
