history

In 1331 the parish of Grunau-Alt Passarge is already mentioned.

Until 1945 the village of Grunau belongs to the district of Heiligenbeil in the administrative district of Königsberg in the Prussian province of East Prussia . In 1910 the place had 327 inhabitants, the number of which rose to 391 by 1933 and 402 in 1939. The competent district court was that in Heiligenbeil .

On June 11, 1874, the district of Grunau was formed. It consisted of the four rural communities Grunau (today in Polish: Gronowo), Neudamerow (Nowa Dąbrowa, no longer existent), Radau (Rodowo) and Wermten (on Russian territory, no longer existed) as well as the four manor districts of Carben (Russian: Brigorkino, no longer existent), Einsiedel (Siedlisken, no longer existent), Hammersdorf (Młoteczno) and Streitswalde (Strzyżeno, no longer existent) together. Due to community reforms in the meantime when smaller localities were integrated into larger associations, the Grunau office in 1945 still consisted of the three rural communities of Grunau, Hammersdorf and Wermten.

When the Polish-Russian border was drawn after 1945, Grunau came to Poland and is now part of the Gmina Braniewo in the Powiat Braniewski in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship (between 1975 and 1998 Elblag Voivodeship ). Today the place has a little over a hundred inhabitants.
