history

Before 1945, the small town of Neu Retzken consisted of several small farms and farms and was first mentioned in 1818. In 1874 it was incorporated into the newly established district of Krupinnen ( Krupin in Polish ), which belonged to the Oletzko district (1933 to 1945: Treuburg district) in the Gumbinnen district of the Prussian province of East Prussia . On December 1, 1910 Neu Retzken had 58 inhabitants.

Based on the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Neu Retzken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Neu Retzken, 49 people voted to stay with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

On September 30, 1928, Neu Retzken gave up its independence and merged with the neighboring towns of Krupinnen (Krupin) and Prostkergut (Imionki) to form the new rural community of Krupinnen.

As a result of the war, Neu Retzken came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name "Nowe Raczki". Today the village is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish sołectwo ) and thus a place in the network of the rural community Wieliczki (Wielitzken , 1938 to 1945 Wallenrode) in Powiat Olecki ( Oletzko district , Treuburg district from 1933 to 1945 ), until 1998 of the Suwałki voivodeship , since then the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
