history
The village, called Wierspaun after 1470 and Wiersbau until 1938 , was founded around 1470 and was mentioned in 1785 as a noble village with 19 campfire sites. Between 1874 and 1945 it was incorporated into the district of Proberg ( Nowy Probark in Polish ), which belonged to the Sensburg district in the Gumbinnen district (from 1905: Allenstein district ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia .
Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population voted in the referendums in East and West Prussia on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Wiersbau, 20 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not cast any votes.
On September 30, 1928, the neighboring village of Bieberstein (Polish: Wólka Baranowska ) was incorporated into the municipality of Wiersbau, which was renamed "Lockwinnen" in 1938 for political and ideological reasons to defend against foreign-sounding place names .
Lockwinnen was transferred to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war with all of southern East Prussia and was given the Polish form of name "Wierzbowo". Today the town seat is a Schulz Office ( Polish Sołectwo ) and thus a village in the composite of Gmina Mrągowo (Town Sensburg ) in mrągowo county (Kreis Sensburg ) until 1998, the Olsztyn Province (Olsztyn) , since the Warmia and Mazury belong.
