history
The pagan Prussians originally lived here . Since 1243 the Diocese of Ermland was part of the Teutonic Order . In December 1348 the handheld festivals were awarded here for several service goods of five hooves each . One of the locators was the old Prussian Doroth , from whom the place name was derived. After the Second Peace of Thorn in 1466, Warmia was subordinated to the Crown of Poland as an autonomous duchy of Warmia .
From 1818 to 1945 the village belonged to the district of Olsztyn in the administrative district of Olsztyn on. In May 1874, the district of Krenz with the rural community Dorothowo was formed here. On September 24, 1913, Dorothowo was renamed Darethen .
During the First World War , the battle of Tannenberg was fought south of the village ; a memorial stone and cross remind of this.
Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Darethen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Darethen, 240 people voted to remain with East Prussia, and Poland had 40 votes.
After January 20, 1945, Darethen was captured by the Red Army and placed under the Soviet command. After the end of the war the village became part of the People's Republic of Poland and was given the Polish name Dorotowo .
