history

For Wujacken , the charter of incorporation was issued on May 18, 1785. It also contains the name of the village mayor Michael Wujak , who probably inspired the place name. This document was renewed on August 26, 1787.

In 1858 there were 129 inhabitants registered in Wujaken. After the establishment of a melioration association , an economic boom began in 1869.

When the district of Fürstenwalde ( Polish: Księży Lasek ) was rebuilt in the East Prussian district of Ortelsburg in 1874 , Wujaken was incorporated, but on August 18, 1881, it was reclassified to the district of Liebenberg (Polish: clone ).

The number of inhabitants was 154 in 1910 and 109 in 1933. On the basis of 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 the connection to Poland. In Wujaken, 95 people voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

On April 24, 1934, Wujaken was renamed "Ohmswalde" for political and ideological reasons to defend against foreign-sounding place names. The population in 1939 was 109. There was a customs border inspection post in the village, and the customs house was built in 1935.

Together with the whole of southern East Prussia , the village was transferred to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war and was given the Polish form of the name “Wujaki”. Today it is a small village within the rural community Rozogi (Friedrichshof) in the powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 of the Ostrołęka Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . In 2011 Wujaki's population was 29.
