History

In the past, the territory was at various times part of Poland, Prussia and Germany. In 1938, the Nazi government of Germany renamed the village to Steinbrück to erase traces of Polish origin. In 1945, following Germany's defeat in World War II, the region became again part of Poland and the historic name of the village was restored.
