Local history

The first documentary mention of Jankenwald comes from the year 1409, when the village schoolboy received support from the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order Ulrich von Jungingen . This was probably due to major problems in the settlement.

In 1785 Jankenwalde was "a noble farm and village with a mill and 10 fireplaces". 1,874 were rural community and the Gutsbezirk Jankenwalde in the newly built office district Baumgarten ( Polish Ogródki ) incorporated, which existed until 1945 and the county Rastenburg in the administrative district of Konigsberg the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged. On July 15, 1927, the Jankenwalde manor district was incorporated into the Jankenwalde rural community.

When the whole of southern East Prussia was transferred to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war , Jankenwalde was also affected. The village received the Polish form of the name “Jankowice”. The place was the seat of a Schulzenamt, to which in 1973 three localities belonged. Today only Niedziały belongs to the Schulzenamt. Jankowice is a village in the rural community Srokowo (Drengfurth) in the powiat Kętrzyński ( Rastenburg district ), until 1998 of the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then it belongs to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
