history

Egloffstein was originally just a large farm and belonged as an exclave to the Arklitten manor district (in Polish Arklity ) in the East Prussian district of Gerdauen . In 1905 it had 29 inhabitants.

On September 30, 1928, Egloffstein was reclassified from the Arklitten manor into the rural community of Bieberstein ( Bobrowo in Polish ).

When all of southern East Prussia fell to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war , Egloffstein was also affected and received the Polish form of the name “Główczyno”. In today's settlement (Polish Osada ) the hamlet (Polish Przysiółek ) Cacki ( German  Schätzelshöfchen ) is included. Together they form a village within the rural community of Barciany (Barten) in the powiat Kętrzyński ( Rastenburg district ), until 1998 of the Olsztyn (Allenstein) Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
