history

Local history

The emergence of the village Kobbelhals, consisting of several small farms, goes back to the year 1612, when on October 10th of this year Johannn Sigismund sold "five Huben lands, located near Kobelhals on the Schoben lake" to Christoph Lichtenstein . The news comes from the 18th century that the economic situation of the village is described as "poor" and the financial situation as "only very mediocre". In 1840 the right to free forest pasture is mentioned in the state forest and the privilege of free fishing in the Schobensee.

In 1874 Kobbelhals was incorporated into the newly established district of Schöndamerau ( Trelkowo in Polish ). It existed until 1945 and was part of the district Szczytno in the Administrative district Königsberg (1905: Administrative district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Kobbelhals belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Kobbelhals, 87 people voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.

When in 1945 all of southern East Prussia was transferred to Poland as a result of the war , Kobbelhals was also affected. The small village was given the Polish form of the name "Kobyłocha" and is now part of the rural community Szczytno (Ortelsburg) in the powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
