history

Orlen was founded in 1416 . On March 29, 1874, it became the district village and gave its name to the newly established district . This lasted until 1945 and was part of the circle Lötzen in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905 to 1945: Administrative district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

The Chausseehaus residential area also belonged to the rural community of Orlen .

On October 1, 1874, the Orlen registry office was founded. It existed until 1913, after which Orlen belonged to the registry office Rhine (Ryn in Polish). 463 inhabitants were registered in Orlen in 1910.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Orlen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Orlen, 340 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

On September 30, 1928, the neighboring towns of Glombowen (1938 to 1945 Leithof, Polish Głąbowo) and Waldhof (Polish Canki) were incorporated into Orlen. The population rose to 545 by 1933 and amounted to 533 in 1939. On June 3 (officially confirmed on July 16) of the year 1938 Orlen was given the changed place name "Arlen".

As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945 with all of southern East Prussia and has been called "Orło" ever since. Today it is part of the urban and rural community Ryn (Rhine) in the powiat Giżycki ( Lötzen district ), before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then it has belonged to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
