history

In 1403 the village of Malgaofen (before 1785 also Malga Theer-Ofen ) was founded. It became known nationwide because of its particularly high deposits of lawn iron ore . Between 1874 and 1945 Malgaofen was incorporated into the Malga District (Polish : Małga ) in the East Prussian district of Neidenburg .

259 inhabitants were registered in Malgaofen in 1910. Their number was 215 in 1933 and 170 in 1939.

As a result of the war, Malgaofen was transferred to Poland along with all of southern East Prussia in 1945 . The village received the Polish form of the name "Niedźwiedź" and was inhabited until the 1950s. It was then sacrificed to a military training area and has been considered abandoned ever since.
