History

It is not known when the village was founded. Most likely in May 1255 Dietrich von Grüningen gave land in Rehberg area with a size of 40 volok[3] to the Knights Hospitaller. Knights Hospitaller proceed and established a village in that area. Rehberg as a village exists from the fourteenth century. At the beginning of the Prussian period, that is after 1772, Rehberg received the right to establish a school. From June 1, 1800, the teacher, Kempowski, was working there. He received from the owners of the estate 42 thalers, five korzec (bushels)[4] of rye, barley, peas, free flats and fuel. Teacher Kempowski was paid a penny each week for each child at school. Such earnings were granted to him on June 4, 1800. by Scholten, manager of the Cadinen estate. The school in Rehberg was closed in 1823, and the children were assigned to the school in Cadinen, but they almost did not show up because of the large distance and often impassable roads.
