history

Local history 1566 to 1840

Rummy was founded by Duke Albrecht of Prussia : on December 10, 1566, at a hand-held celebration, he prescribed a hundred Köllmische Hufen “Waldes hinter Wappendorf ” to the village mayor Paul Kossack . Rummy experienced a particular upward development in the middle of the 18th century, when numerous hereditary farms were built between 1752 and 1768, which could even be managed until 1945.

The separation was completed in Rummy 1840. Since then, the village has been - as the review describes it - "divided into Rummy A and Rummy B and two special lists created".

Local history from 1840 to 1945

Rummy A / Rummau East

In the course of the separation, numerous extension yards were built around Feldmark Rummy A, for example the Laurettenhof establishment (no longer existent) in 1848 , which was assigned to the mill builder Morczek . In 1874, Rummy A was incorporated into the newly established Rummy District . He belonged to the East Prussian district of Ortelsburg .

In 1910 the rural community Rummy A had a total of 651 inhabitants. Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Rummy A belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Rummy A, 434 residents voted to stay with East Prussia, Poland had 22 votes. In 1933 596 inhabitants were registered, in 1939 there were 545. There were 84 farms. Between 1923 and 1938, 15 new residential buildings and 31 new farm buildings were built in the village. On June 3, 1938 - officially confirmed on July 16 - Rummy A was renamed "Rummau Ost" for political and ideological reasons to defend against foreign sounding place names.

During the war, 7 people from Rummau Ost were shot, 9 kidnapped, and 4 people died while trying to escape. 75 residents died as members of the armed forces. One soldier is considered missing.

Rummy B / Rummau West

In the course of the separation in 1840, Rummy B was created. On April 3, 1848, the extension yard Dörenthal (Polish Stawek , no longer existent) was built. In 1874 Rummy B became part of the newly established Rummy district within the East Prussian district of Ortelsburg .

Rummy B had 452 inhabitants in 1910. In 1933 there were 416 and in 1939 only 354. In the referendum on July 11, 1920, 280 inhabitants voted to remain in East Prussia, 5 votes went to Poland. In 1939 there were 63 farms. Since June 3rd - officially confirmed on July 16th - of the year 1938, Rummy B had the place name "Rummau West", which was changed for political and ideological reasons. At the end of the war in 1945 the following were recorded: 5 residents were shot when the Russians or Poles invaded, 18 people were abducted and 21 residents died as members of the Wehrmacht.

Local history from 1945

As a result of the war, the two villages of Rummau East and Rummau West, which had almost grown together, came to Poland with all of southern East Prussia in 1945 . The places have now been grouped under the Polish name form "Rumy" and today form a village with the seat of a Schulzenamt (Polish Sołectwo ) in the network of the rural community Dźwierzuty ( Mensguth , village) in the powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 of the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then assigned to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

District Rummy / Rummau 1874–1945

In the period from 1874 and 1945 there was the Rummy District (from November 15, 1938: "Rummau District"), which was composed of three rural communities :
