history

Local history

The widely scattered village was localized on September 6, 1363 by the Warmian bishop Johann II. Stryprock ( Jan Stryprock in Polish ) according to Kulmer law . The village name was Borgholcz when it was founded . In 1733 the Markuszewski family foundation had a baroque chapel built. In 1783 there were 36 houses in the village, in 1820 the number had dropped to 28. The name Robawen originated in the 18th century .

From 1874 to 1945, the village with the living quarters was Lindenberg (Polish Lipowa Góra ), Lindenthal Krug (Karczmarka) and Waldau (Wałdowo) in the District Klawsdorf ( Polish Klewno ) incorporated

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population voted in the referendums in East and West Prussia on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Robawen, 380 people voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not.

On September 30, 1928, Robawen expanded to include the neighboring towns of Ramten (Ramty) and Rheindorfshof (Wólka Ryńska) , which were incorporated. On June 3 (officially confirmed on 16 July) 1938 Robawen in "Robaben" was renamed .

In 1945, at the end of World War II , the Red Army marched into the area. As a result of the war, the village became part of Poland as “Robawy”. On January 1, 1955, the village became the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ), which belonged to the Gromada Mnichowo . In 1957 this Gromada was dissolved and Robawy became part of the Gromada and from 1972 the municipality of Reszel. The village formed a Schulzenamt to which the localities Kocibórz ( German  Kattmedien ), Lipowa Góra (Lindenberg) and Ramty (Ramten) belonged.
