Originally this region was known as Prussia . Since 1243 it was part of the Teutonic Order Land . After the Second Peace of Thorn in 1466 and the Reformation in 1525, it was in the Duchy of Prussia and later in the province of East Prussia .
The Osterode district existed from 1818 to 1945. In May 1874 the administrative district was established in Hirschberg .
Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Hirschberg belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Hirschberg, 680 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.
After January 21, 1945, Hirschberg was captured by the Red Army . After the end of the war the village became part of the People's Republic of Poland and has been called Idzbark since then . In Idzbark there is a memorial to the fallen from the First World War .
