history

The village called Prekownitza and later Rekownitza was founded in 1710. From 1874 to 1945 the village was incorporated into the administrative district Malga (Polish Małga ), which belonged to the East Prussian district of Neidenburg . 438 inhabitants were registered in Rekownitza in 1910.

On May 24, 1921, Rekownitza changed its name to "Großwalde". The population was 416 in 1933 and 385 in 1939.

In 1945, as a result of the war, Großwalde was transferred to Poland with all of southern East Prussia and was given the Polish form of the name "Rekownica". As the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Sołectwo in Polish ), Rekownica is now part of the Jedwabno rural community (1938 to 1945 Gedwangen ) in the Szczycieński powiat ( Ortelsburg district ), and the Olsztyn Voivodeship until 1998 , and since then has been part of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . In 2011 the village had 75 inhabitants.
