history

Groß Rauschken village

The village then known as Groß Rauschken was founded in 1389. The Grand Master Konrad von Rotenstein issued the founding festivals on July 26, 1389. In 1472 it was renewed by Grand Master Heinrich von Richtenberg . In 1874, Groß Rauschken was incorporated into the newly established district of Klein Rauschken ( Rusek Mały in Polish ) in the East Prussian district of Ortelsburg . In 1910 a total of 495 inhabitants were registered in Groß Rauschken.

On March 1, 1927, Groß Rauschken and Klein Rauschken ( Rusek Mały in Polish ) as well as Hanau and Tannenhof ( Długipole and Jeglijak in Polish , both no longer exist) merged to form the new rural community Rauschken. Groß Rauschken was renamed "Rauschken" (without addition) on September 30, 1928.
