The place formed a housing space within the rural community debris's oven (Polish Pidun ) in East Prussian circuit Neidenburg . In 1905 the small forest village had seven inhabitants. On June 3 - officially confirmed on July 16 - 1938, Rekowen was renamed "Reckau" for political and ideological reasons to defend against foreign-sounding place names.
