history

The founding deed of the village called Kottenberg before 1767 has been lost. It is said to have originated around 1685, but it was not mentioned for the first time until 1719. In 1781 the condition of the village was described as follows: “The village of Kutzburg is the most miserable in the whole office. The ground is consistently floating sand. In their affliction to have more and more fields, the landlords have cleared their lands throughout, so they have completely abandoned their very light field to the wind .... It is therefore necessary ... to conserve this village ... ”A remarkable one The village did not experience economic growth until 1932 to 1934 through the drainage measures in the area of ​​the Omulef River (in Polish Omulew ).

Between 1874 and 1945 Kutzburg was incorporated into the district of Schiemanen (Polish: Szymany ) in the East Prussian district of Ortelsburg .

In 1910 there were 471 residents registered in Kutzburg. Their number was 479 in 1933 and 462 in 1939.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population voted in the referendums in East and West Prussia on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Kutzburg, 333 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland had 4 votes.

As a result of the war, all of southern East Prussia was handed over to Poland in 1947. This also affected Kutzburg, which received the Polish form of the name "Kucbork". Today the village is the seat of a Schulzenamt (Polish Sołectwo ) and as such a place in the network of the urban and rural community Wielbark (Willenberg) in the Powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 of the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship . In 2011 there were 272 residents registered in Kucbork.
