history

The village, called Rutichen before 1785 and Rutkowen after 1785 , was probably founded around 1414. In 1775 it says about Rutichen: “The Einsassen live from agriculture, cattle breeding and some canvas weaving. Financial circumstances: very bad ”.

In 1874 Ruttkowen was in the newly built office district Przytullen ( Polish Przytuły ) integrated, the - 1938 renamed "Amntsbezirk block height" - existed until 1945 and the East Prussian district Szczytno belonged. In 1910 Ruttkowen had 169 inhabitants. On the basis of the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Ruttkowen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Ruttkowen, 142 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not cast any votes. The population rose to 343 by 1933.

On June 3 - officially confirmed on July 16 - 1938, Ruttkowen was renamed "Ruttkau" for political and ideological reasons to defend against foreign-sounding place names. The population was 266 in 1939.

As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name "Rutkowo". Today it is a place within the rural community Dźwierzuty (Mensguth) in the powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then assigned to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
