history

The 1785 Rimken , then to 1938 Rymken called Gutsdorf in 1874 in the newly built office district Baitkowen ( Polish Bajtkowo incorporated), which - in 1938 in "District Baitenberg" renamed - was and until 1945 the county elk in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905: Government District Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia . In 1910 the place had 37 inhabitants.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Rymken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Rymken, 20 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes. On September 30, 1928, Rymken gave up its independence and was incorporated into the neighboring community of Sdeden (1938 to 1945 Stettenbach , Polish Zdedy ).

On June 3 (officially confirmed on 16 July) of 1938 Rymken was foreign-sounding place names in "Riemken" for political and ideological reasons of defense renamed . As a result of the war, the place came to Poland in 1945 along with the whole of southern East Prussia and has been using the Polish name "Rymki" ever since. Today the place is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and thus a place within the Gmina Ełk (rural municipality Lyck ) in the powiat Ełcki , until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then it belongs to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
