history

The small village of Neu Proberg was until 1945 a residential area of the community (Alt) Proberg in the Sensburg district in the Gumbinnen district (from 1905: Allenstein district ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia . In 1867 there were 185 inhabitants, in 1885 151 and in 1905 only 75 inhabitants.

With the whole of southern East Prussia , Neu Proberg was transferred to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war and was given the Polish form of the name “Probark”. Today the village is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and thus a village in the Gmina Mrągowo (rural municipality Sensburg ) in the Powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship. In 2011 Probark had 185 inhabitants.

  2. Due to the similarity of Polish-German names, the locations of the villages Probark and Nowy Probark are often confused. Old map material and new Polish directories indicate that Probark and New Proberg or Nowy Probark and (Old) Proberg are identical
