history

Today's settlement ( osada in Polish ) originally consisted of only one large courtyard. In 1858 the place called Maxhof was founded. Until 1945 it was a place of residence within the community of Schedlisken (1938 to 1945 Dankfelde, Polish Siedliska) within the district of Lötzen in the administrative district of Gumbinnen (1905 to 1945: administrative district of Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia . The small town, which had only 35 inhabitants in 1905, belonged to the Staßwinnen registry office from 1874 to 1945 (1938 to 1945 Eisermühl, Polish Staświny).

As a result of the war, the place came to Poland in 1945 with all of southern East Prussia and has been called "Grodkowo" since then. Today the settlement is assigned to the Schulzenamt (Polish sołectwo) Sucholaski (Sucholasken , 1935 to 1945 Rauschenwalde) and is accordingly a place within the rural community of Wydminy (Widminnen) in the powiat Giżycki ( Lötzen district ), before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then the Voivodeship Belonging to Warmia-Masuria .
