history

The after 1790 cheek nod and 1820 Wangnicken called today Weiler ( Polish Przysiółek ) Wangnick was until 1928 a Vorwerk in Gutsbezirk riotous (Polish Prosna ). The Gutsbezirk belonged to the county Rastenburg in the administrative district of Kaliningrad in the Prussian province of East Prussia . On September 30, 1928, the Vorwerke Marlutten (Polish: Marłuty ), Mockelheim (no longer existent) and Wangnick were spun off from the Prassen manor and converted into the new rural community Wangnick. Ten years later - on April 1, 1938 - it lost its independence again and was incorporated into the neighboring municipality of Prassen.

In 1945, as a result of the war, all of southern East Prussia and Wangnick were transferred to Poland . Wangnick received the Polish form of the name "Wągniki" and is now a place in the network of the urban and rural community of Korsze (Korschen) in the powiat Kętrzyński ( Rastenburg district ), until 1998 of the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
