history

Today's hamlet ( osada in Polish ) Róg Orłowski and the former small village of Rog (around 1785) or Rhog (until 1938) was incorporated into the Orlowen district (Orłowo in Polish) from 1874 to 1945 , which - in 1938, was renamed the Adlersdorf District. - belonged to the district of Lötzen in the administrative district of Gumbinnen (1905 to 1945: administrative district of Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia . During the same period Rhog was assigned to the Orlowen registry office with the villages of Gut Klein Lenkuk (Polish Łękuk Mały) and Orlowen station (Adlersdorf) .

In 1910, 117 inhabitants were registered in Rhog. Their number rose to 187 by 1933.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Rhog belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Rhog, 80 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

On June 3 (officially confirmed on July 16) of the year 1938, Rhóg was renamed to "Klein Lenkuk" (= name of the property belonging to the community) for political and ideological reasons to defend against foreign-sounding place names. The population was 177 in 1939.

As a result of the war, the place came to Poland in 1945 with all of southern East Prussia and was given the Polish form of the name "Róg Orłowski". He was assigned to the Schulzenamt (Polish sołectwo) and is therefore a place within the rural community Wydminy (Widminnen) in the powiat Giżycki ( Lötzen district ), before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then it has belonged to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
