history

The place called before 1785 Gronowo consisted of the village and the estate and was founded in 1392. In 1785 it was mentioned as a "aristocratic majorate and village with 27 fireplaces".

In 1874 the rural community of Grunau and the estate district of Grunau were incorporated into the newly established district of Bosemb (1938 to 1945 Bussen , in Polish Boże ). This was renamed in 1938 to "Bussen District" and existed until 1945, belonging to the Sensburg district in the Gumbinnen district (from 1905: Allenstein district ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population voted in the referendums in East and West Prussia on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Grunau (village and estate) 120 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not cast any votes. On September 30, 1928, the manor district of Grunau was incorporated into the rural community of Grunau.

When southern East Prussia was transferred to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war , Grunau was also affected. The village received the Polish form of the name "Gronowo". It is a now home Schulz Office ( Polish Sołectwo ) and as such, a town in the composite of Gmina Mrągowo (Town Sensburg ) in mrągowo county until 1998, the Olsztyn Province (Olsztyn) , since the Warmia and Mazury assigned.
