history

Leitnerswalde originally consisted of only one large yard and was founded on February 28, 1816 as Waldhaus Leitnerswalde by Counselor Leitner from Angerburg (Polish : Węgorzewo ). Before 1908, the small town was incorporated into the Jäglack district ( Jegławki in Polish ) in the East Prussian district of Rastenburg . Leitnerswalde had 43 inhabitants in 1885, 28 in 1905 and 54 in 1910.

On August 17, 1915, the Leitnerswalde manor district was incorporated into the Marschallsheide manor district ( Marszałki in Polish ), which was then incorporated into Wolfshagen ( Wilczyny in Polish ) on September 30, 1928 .

The Leitnerswalde forest consisted of a wide forest area that bordered the Marschallsheide . In the deepest thicket there was an island surrounded by swamp, to which the Wolfshagen farmers rescued their cattle in Napoleon's time . During the Second World War , a Soviet radio department hid there in 1944 , which had got there by parachute jump .

In 1945, as a result of the war, all of southern East Prussia and with it Leitnerswalde came to Poland . The place received the Polish name form "Osikowo" and is today a place in the network of the rural community Srokowo (Drengfurth) in the powiat Kętrzyński ( Rastenburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship belongs.
