History

The town was captured by Polish King Władysław II Jagiełło in 1410.^[6] In 1440, the town was one of the founding members of the Prussian Confederation, which opposed Teutonic rule,^[7] and upon the request of which King Casimir IV Jagiellon incorporated the territory to the Kingdom of Poland in 1454.^[8] After the subsequent Thirteen Years' War (1454–1466), it became a part of Poland as a fief held by the Teutonic Knights.^[9]

From the 18th century, it formed part of the Kingdom of Prussia. During the Seven Years' War, it was captured by Russia in 1757^[10] and 1758, and then occupied by Russia until 1762. From 1871 it was also part of Germany. The Provincial Sanatorium and Nursing Institution Allenberg was a psychiatric hospital in Allenberg from 1852 to 1940. In the late 19th century, the town had a population of 2,200, and eight annual fairs were held there.^[6] After World War II, the town was renamed to Druzhba.
