From the 18th to the middle of the 19th century the estate belonged to the Counts of Schwerin in Dönhofstädt (now Drogosze in Polish ) and then to the Counts of Schwerin in Skandau (Polish Skandawa ). In 1859 Sophie gave Countess von Schwerin-Skandau, born. Countess Dönhoff bought her niece Adele's estate together with Gut Dombehnen ( Dębiany ) for the wedding with Werner Gebhard Louis v.

On January 29, 1894, the two rural communities Adlig Rodehlen and Köllmisch Rodehlen merged to form the new rural community Rodehlen. It was expanded on September 30, 1928, when the rural community Dombehnen ( Dębiany ) and the manor district of the same name and the manor district Silzkeim ( Gumniska ) were included. On April 1, 1939, the rural community of Petermanns ( Pieszewo ) was included.
