Place name

The place was mentioned in 1419 as Jegelawken / Jogelawken . The name is made up of the Prussian “Gegis” (meadow, grove, alder forest, hay meadows, fields) and “laucas” (field, field). Later it was called Jäglacken and Jeglacken .

Local history

Jäglack was located on October 3, 1422. At that time there was already a mill in the village.

In 1785 Jäglack was mentioned as a "noble farm and farming village with 17 fireplaces", in 1817 there were 19 houses in which 165 people lived.

On April 30, 1874 Jäglack became an official village and its name to an administrative district that existed until 1945 and the county Rastenburg in the administrative district of Kaliningrad in the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged.

The two districts of Alt Jäglack (Polish: Stare Jegławki ) and Neu Jäglack (Polish: Nowe Jegławki , now defunct) and the Waldhaus Jäglack belonged to Jäglack.

On September 30, 1928, the rural community Jäglack and the manor district Jäglack and the manor district Kollkeim ( Kolkiejmy in Polish ) merged to form the new rural community Jäglack.

After the Red Army occupied the area in January 1945, the village became part of Poland as a result of World War II . It received the Polish form of the name "Jegławki". In 1970 there were 343 inhabitants. At that time there was a four-class elementary school, a kindergarten, a library point and a cinema with space for 50 people in the village. After the dissolution of the Gromadas , the village came to the Schulzenamt (Polish Sołectwo ) Wilczyny (Wolfshagen) in 1973 . The village and the settlement of the same name - it is part of the former municipality of Jäglack - are now part of the rural municipality of Srokowo (Drengfurth) in the powiat Kętrzyński ( Rastenburg district ), until 1998 of the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
