history

Marienhof was an estate until 1945. Before "Dismantling Schumann" it was founded on May 4th, 1860 and officially called "Marienhof". In 1905 the manor had 58 inhabitants

After the end of the Second World War in 1945, the Marienhof estate belonging to the German Empire ( East Prussia ) fell to Poland. The resident German population, unless they had fled, was largely expelled or evacuated after 1945 and replaced by new citizens from other parts of Poland.

The Marienhof estate became independent again as a village and renamed "Ryczywół".

From 1975 to 1998 Ryczywół belonged to what was then the Suwałki Voivodeship , then joined the newly formed Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship in 1999 and is now part of Gmina Kalinowo .

Until 1945 Marienhof was part of the community Romanowen resp. Heldenfelde parish in the Protestant church Borszymmen in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Roman Catholic Church in Prawdzisken (1934 to 1945 Reiffenrode , Polish Prawdziska ) in the Diocese of Warmia .
