history

In 1555, the village of Drosdonenn - after 1656 Droßdowen and until 1938 Drosdowen - was founded as an interest village.

The place belonged to the district Johannisburg in the administrative region Gumbinnen (from 1905 administrative region Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia . From 1874 to 1945 he was part of the Dombrowken district (from 1930 Eichendorf district ).

219 inhabitants were registered in Drosdowen in 1910, in 1933 there were already 234.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Drosdowen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Drosdowen, 200 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.

On June 3 (officially confirmed on July 16) 1938, Drosdowen was renamed Drosselwalde for political and ideological reasons to defend against foreign-looking place names . The population was 232 in 1939.

In 1945, the entire southern came Prussia in consequence of the war to Poland . The village received the Polish name form Drozdowo and is today together with the neighboring village Zastrużne (Sastrosnen , 1938-1945 Schlangenfließ) seat of a Schulzenamt (Polish Sołectwo ) and thus a place in the network of the urban and rural community Orzysz (Arys) in the powiat Piski ( Johannisburg district ), until 1998 part of the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship.
