The former Waldhaus Drengfurth was before 1945 a forestry in the municipality of Drengfurth ( Srokowo in Polish ) in the East Prussian district of Rastenburg . There were seven registered residents in 1885 and five in 1905.
As a result of the war, Waldhaus Drengfurth came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and was given the Polish form of the name “Wilcze”. Today it is an "Osada leśna" (= "forest settlement") within the rural community of Srokowo in the powiat Kętrzyński , until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
