Szymbark (German Schönberg ) is a village of the rural community Iława ( German Eylau ) in the powiat Iławski in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
Geographical location
The village is located in the former West Prussia , eight kilometers northwest of Iława ( German Eylau ) on Jezioro Szymbarskie ( house lake ) .
history
The village was first mentioned in 1378. It belonged to the cathedral chapter of Marienwerder . After the Reformation in Prussia in 1525, the office of Schönberg passed into secular ownership and, after a few changes of ownership, was acquired in 1699 by the electoral chamberlain Ernst Graf Finck von Finckenstein , known as the "rich shepherd", together with the Schönberg property of around 9,000 hectares. Schönberg remained in the Finckenstein family property ( Fideikommiss ) until 1945.
Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Marienwerder voting area , to which Schönberg belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Schönberg, 591 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland received three votes.
Towards the end of the Second World War , the region was occupied by the Red Army in the spring of 1945 . After the end of the war, Schönberg became part of the People's Republic of Poland with all of West Prussia and the southern half of East Prussia in the summer of 1945 under the Potsdam Agreement under the name Szymbark . As far as the villagers had not fled, they were in the aftermath of Schoenberg sold .
