history
Today's Kałwągi was laid out in the 14th century under Kulm law . In 1359 Winrich von Kniprode also granted the village two acres of land, which means that the village, which already had a tavern, included 50 Hufen (around 900 hectares) of land. Of these, 5 Hufen (almost 90 hectares) belonged to the village mayor. In 1419 the place was mentioned as Caltwange, a Prussian name made up of “cold” (sandy place) and “wangus” (oak forest). In 1785 the village had 24 houses, in 1817 there were 22 with 215 inhabitants.
From 1874 to 1945 Kaltwangen was incorporated into the Prassen district ( Prosna in Polish ). It belonged to the district of Rastenburg in the administrative district of Königsberg in the Prussian province of East Prussia .
On December 1, 1920, there were 263 inhabitants in Kaltwangen, 201 in 1933 and 172 in 1939.
