history

The former forester's house Rostek was initially a residential area of the manor district Oberförsterei Kruttinnen and then until 1945 of the community Jägerswalde ( Polish Rosocha ) in the district of Sensburg in the administrative district of Gumbinnen (from 1905: administrative district of Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia . In 1905 the forester's house had four residents. On June 3 (officially confirmed on July 16) 1938, Rostek was renamed "Steinbruch" for political and ideological reasons to defend against foreign-sounding place names.

With the whole of southern East Prussia , the place came to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war and received the Polish form of the name “Rostek”. Today the Leśniczówka Rostek (forestry settlement ) is again assigned to the neighboring village Rosocha (Jägerswalde) ("cześć wsi") and thus a place within the rural community Piecki (whip village ) in the powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ), until 1998 the Voivodeship of Olsztyn , since then the Voivodeship Belonging to Warmia-Masuria .
