history

Marienwalde was a large Vorwerk and until 1945 incorporated into Baumgarten ( Polish: Ogródki ) in the East Prussian district of Rastenburg . In 1820 the small town had 24, in 1885 68, and in 1905 still 38 inhabitants. On September 30, 1928 the manor districts Baumgarten (Polish: Ogródki ), Lenzkeim ( Łęsk ) and Wickerau ( Wikrowo ) were incorporated into the rural community of Baumgarten.

When the whole of southern East Prussia was transferred to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war , Marienwalde was also affected. It received the Polish form of the name "Wólka Jankowska". Today's hamlet ( Przysiółek in Polish ) is now a place in the rural community of Srokowo (Drengfurth) in the powiat Kętrzyński ( Rastenburg district ), until 1998 of the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then it belongs to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
