history

Local history

On June 30, 1685, the village of Wawrafen was founded. However, the settlement work did not progress well and some farmers left the village. On May 26, 1696, a new attempt was made to recruit settlers. Towards the end of the 18th century, the village's economic conditions were described as "precarious". It was not until the 1920s that a remarkable upward trend began.

On July 16, 1874 Wawrochen office Village and thus its name to an administrative district , which - in 1938 renamed "District German Heide" - to 1945 and county Ortelsburg in Administrative district Königsberg (1905 Government district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged.

In 1910 there were 433 inhabitants registered in Wawracht, in 1933 there were 371.

Based on the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Wawracht belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. 284 inhabitants of Wawracht voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland had 4 votes.

On June 3, 1938 - officially confirmed on July 16 - Wawracht was renamed "Deutschheide" for political and ideological reasons to defend against foreign-looking place names. The population was 337 in 1939.

With the entire southern East Prussia , the village was in consequence of the war in 1945 Poland transferred and received the Polish form of the name "Wawrochy".
