The town outlived a battle of Tannenberg, Tatarian and Swedish devastations, Napoleon s wars, epidemics, fires, and in 19 century began to develop itself. During World War I a famous battle, called the second battle of Tannenberg, took place just near Olsztynek. The Germans honored this victory by building an enormous monument later it was Hindenburgs Mausoleum.
