history
In 1789, Sommerau is described as a noble village with a Lutheran church, a mill and 67 fireplaces (households).
Sommerau belonged to the Rosenberg district in West Prussia since 1818 (until 1920 in the Marienwerder district , 1920 to 1939 West Prussia district , 1939 to 1945 Reichsgau Danzig-West Prussia ) in the Prussian province of West Prussia , from 1920 on the East Prussian province .
Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Marienwerder voting area , to which Sommerau belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Sommerau, 584 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.
Towards the end of the Second World War , the region was occupied by the Red Army in the spring of 1945 . After the end of the war, in the summer of 1945, Sommerau became part of the People's Republic of Poland together with all of West Prussia and the southern half of East Prussia in accordance with the Potsdam Agreement . As far as the villagers had not fled, they were in the aftermath of Sommerau sold .
The village is now part of the Iława rural community within the powiat Iławski in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship (1975 to 1998 Olsztyn Voivodeship ).
