history

After the residents of the area repeatedly requested the establishment of a ferry connection across the Vistula near Sommerau because of the danger to humans and animals from floods , George Kostka granted the village's Kruger the right to hold a ferry in 1603, for which the villagers annually had to pay three marks.

The village of Sommerau had belonged to the Marienburg district in West Prussia since 1818 (until 1920 in the Gdansk district of the West Prussia province , from 1920 to 1939 in the West Prussia district of the East Prussia province and from 1939 to 1945 in the Marienwerder district in the Reichsgau Danzig-West Prussia ).

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 West Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Sommerau, 253 residents voted to remain with West Prussia, while Poland received 7 votes.

Towards the end of the Second World War , Sommerau was occupied by the Red Army in the spring of 1945 . After the end of the war, in the summer of 1945, the village became part of the People's Republic of Poland together with West Prussia and the southern half of East Prussia in accordance with the Potsdam Agreement . Then the immigration of Polish migrants began. Had not fled as far as the local villagers, they were in the aftermath of Ząbrowo sold .
