history

In 1483 the village of Groß Lepacken (from about 1893 Lepacken , without addition) was founded and consisted of several small farms.

In 1874 it became an independent country community forming, in the District grave Nick ( Polish Grabnik ) incorporated, which existed until 1945 and the county elk in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905: Administrative district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged.

Around 1893 the neighboring village of Klein Lepacken ( Polish: Lepaki Małe ) was incorporated into Groß Lepacken, which was then only called "Lepacken" (without any additions).

In 1910 a total of 132 inhabitants were registered in the municipality of Lepacken. Their number rose to 149 by 1933. Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Lepacken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland . In Lepacken, 100 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not cast any votes.

On June 3, 1938, Lepacken was renamed to "Ramecksfelde" for political and ideological reasons to avoid foreign-sounding place names. The district of Klein Lepacken was also renamed Kleinramecksfelde . The population of Ramecksfeld was 110 in 1939.

As a result of the war, the place came to Poland in 1945 with all of southern East Prussia . In the Polish form of the name, the former form is taken up again with the addition: Lepaki Wielkie. Under the name "Lepaki" (without addition), however, the place is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ), which also includes the neighboring village of Lepaki Małe ( Klein Lepacken , 1938 to 1945 Kleinramecksfelde) . Both localities today belong to the Gmina Ełk (rural municipality Lyck ) in the powiat Ełcki ( Lyck district ), before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then assigned to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
