==History== thumb|left|Hunting lodge in 1914 The village goes back to a hunting lodge which was first mentioned in a document of 1572. The village later became a colony of tar distillers. Until 1657, it was under the suzerainty of the Kingdom of Poland. Rominten had already been a hunting place for Prince Elector Frederick William of Brandenburg-Prussia in 1683. The region was elevated to an Imperial Court Hunting District by German Emperor Wilhelm II in 1890. The emperor's Rominten Hunting Lodge was built in 1891. After World War I Rominten remained a state hunting district, while the Lodge remained Wilhelm's private property (including Kaiserbahnhof Groß Rominten).
