geography
The village is located in the former West Prussia , about nine kilometers east of Elbląg (Elbing) in the southeast of the Wysoczyzna Elbląska ( Elbinger Höhe , also Trunzer Berge ).
history
The place called Wolfsdorf Höhe until 1945 (before 1785 also Wolfsdorf auf der Höhe , before 1905 Wolfsdorfhöhe ) was founded in the years 1296 to 1299.
Between 1874 and 1945 it belonged to the district of Pomehrendorf (today in Polish: Pomorska Wieś) in the district of Elbing in the district of Danzig (from 1920 district of Marienwerder , 1922 to 1939 district of West Prussia , 1939 to 1945 district of Danzig) in the Prussian province of West Prussia (1922 to 1939 province East Prussia , 1939 to 1945 Reichsgau Danzig-West Prussia ).
Towards the end of the Second World War , Wolfsdorf Höhe was occupied by the Red Army in the spring of 1945 . In the summer of 1945 the region was placed under Polish administration by the Soviet occupying forces . The Poles introduced the place name Wilkowo for Wolfsdorf Höhe . Unless the villagers had fled, they were subsequently expelled from Wolfsdorf Höhe by the local Polish administrative authority .
Today Wilkowo is a village within the rural community Milejewo (Trunz) in the powiat Elbląski in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship (1975 to 1998 Elbląg Voivodeship ).
