history

The former Solknick - called Schwelgeninken before 1785 and called Sollknick after 1820 - was founded before 1472.

In 1905 Solknick had 84 inhabitants.

On September 30, 1928 Solknick was reclassified to the rural community of Laggarben (Polish Garbno ) in the Woninkeim district (Polish Wanikajmy ).

During the Second World War there was an ammunition depot near Solknick . To this day, numerous interested parties come here to look for remains - with or without a metal detector .

As a result of the war, all of southern East Prussia came to Poland in 1945, and with it Solknick. The village was given the Polish form of name "Solkieniki" and is now the seat of a Schulzenamt (Polish Sołectwo ) in the association of the rural community Barciany (Barten) in the powiat Kętrzyński ( Rastenburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then it belongs to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
