history

The founder of the Wilhelmmowa settlement (after 1820 Wyllamowen ) is Friedrich Wilhelm , the "great elector". He gave in his hand Festivals on January 24, 1646 the Hans Simon land and forest for application of the village. In 1783, however, the peasants' financial situation was not exactly described as rosy: “The demand for wood must be met in the state forest. Hay has to be bought in Poland. ”It was actually only in the 1920s that an economic boom set in.

1874 Willamowen was in the newly built office district Friedrichshof ( Polish Rozogi ) in the East Prussian district Szczytno incorporated. In 1910 the number of village residents was 845. Based on the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population voted in the referendums in East and West Prussia on July 11, 1920 to continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or to join Poland from. In Willamowen, 627 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not cast any votes.

On December 12, 1932, Willamowen was renamed for political and ideological reasons to defend against foreign-sounding place names. In memory of the town's founder, the Great Elector, the name "Wilhelmshof" was chosen. The population was 706 in 1933 and dropped to 665 by 1939.

With all of southern East Prussia , Wilhelmshof came to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war .
