history

The village, called Bieberswalde until 1946 and love before 1785, was mentioned for the first time in 1681.

On May 7, 1874, Bieberswalde became the seat and eponymous place of an administrative district that existed until 1945 and belonged to the Osterode district in East Prussia , to the Königsberg district until 1905 , then to the Allenstein district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .

In 1910, 1110 inhabitants were registered in Bieberswalde, after 1,152 inhabitants were registered in 1885. Their number remained almost constant until 1933 at 1,108 and in 1939 at 1,028.

On the basis of the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Bieberswalde belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Bieberswalde, 780 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

As a result of the war, Bieberswalde came to Poland in 1945 and was given the Polish name "Liwa" in 1946. The village is now part of the Gmina Miłomłyn in the powiat Ostródzki in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , from 1975 to 1998 Olsztyn Voivodeship .
