At the end of World War II, the Russians occupied this area and drove out the residents. The inhabitants of nearby Ramnitz could not escape the Russian advance. They hid in the Rambower forest and returned on the following day to the village. The East Prussia refugees had fled the Russians, but more people came after that.
