history

The small village Dworatzken in 1874 in the District Schwentainen (Polish today: Świętajno) incorporated, which until 1933 the county Oletzko , then to 1945 for county Treuburg in Administrative district Gumbinnen the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged. In 1910 there were 274 inhabitants in Dworatzken. Their number decreased to 215 by 1933 and, after the place was renamed Herrendorf on March 8, 1934 , was only 199 in 1939.

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

As a result of the war , Herrendorf came to Poland in 1945 with southern East Prussia and was renamed Dworackie . Today the village is a village with a Schulzenamt (Polish sołectwo ) within the rural community Świętajno (Schwentainen) in the Powiat Olecki in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
