history

The former Grüneberge was founded in 1893 and was the seat of a forestry office (Oberförsterei). Until 1929 the place was an independent forestry district and from 1894 belonged to the district of Schiemanen ( Polish: Szymany ) in the East Prussian district of Ortelsburg . In 1905 the manor counted 30 inhabitants in five houses; to him belonged the living quarters Kutzbergmühle, Forsthaus Materschobensee, Forsthaus Ostau and Forsthaus Rocklaß.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Grüneberge belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Grüneberge, 29 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

On September 30, 1928, the Green Mountain manor district merged with three neighboring manor districts to form the new rural community Reusswalde (Polish: Ruski Bór ), part of Ortelsburg district, Forst, in the Korpellen district (Polish : Korpele ).
