history

The place named before 1820 Row originally consisted only of a small homestead and until 1945 was a residential area of the rural community Jellinowen (1938 to 1945 Gellen (East Pr.) , Jeleniowo in Polish ). In 1820 Rowmühle had 10, 1885 14 and 1905 already 15 inhabitants. On June 3rd - officially confirmed on July 16th - 1938, the place was renamed "Babantmühle" for political and ideological reasons to avoid foreign-sounding place names.

With the whole of southern East Prussia , the place was transferred to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war and received the Polish form of the name "Rów". Today it is incorporated as a forest settlement in the rural community Dźwierzuty (Mensguth) in the powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then assigned to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
