Geographical location
Wyszembork is located in the heart of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , eight kilometers northeast of the district town of Mrągowo ( German Sensburg ).
history
The former Weißenburg was founded in 1376.
On April 8, 1874, it became Amtsdorf and thus gave its name to an administrative district that existed until 1945 and belonged to the Sensburg district in the Gumbinnen district (from 1905: Allenstein district ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia . The districts of Berghof ( Biestrzykowo in Polish , no longer existent) and Marienhof (Brodzikowo) were incorporated into the municipality of Weißenburg .
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 Weißenburg, 440 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.
On September 30, 1928 Waldhausen (Boże Małe) was incorporated into Weissenburg. On April 25, 1940 the place name was officially changed to "Weißenburg (Ostpr.)".
In 1945 as a result of the war, all of southern East Prussia came to Poland . This now also affected Weißenburg, which received the Polish form of the name “Wyszembork”. Today the village is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and as such a place within the Gmina Mrągowo (rural municipality Sensburg ) in the powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn (Allenstein) Voivodeship , since then assigned to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
