== History ==
[[File:Kamień Cesarski - Pagórki.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Imperial Stone in the Hills - was set to commemorate the visit of [[Wilhelm II, German Emperor|Kaiser Wilhelm II]] in 1899.]]
Rehberg originated as a settlement in the course of the German colonisation of the East on the territory of the [[Teutonic Order]]. It is not known when the village was founded. It is most likely that the Grand Master [[Dietrich von Grüningen]] donated the 40 hectares of Rehberg area to the Holy Spirit Hospital in Elbing in May 1255. The hospital must have founded a settlement there. In 1347, Rehberg was mentioned as a village for the first time in a document of the Elbing commander Alexander von Kornre.<ref name="Historia Wysoczyzny Elbląskiej">{{cite web|url= https://historia-wyzynaelblaska.pl/pagorki.html |title=Historia Wysoczyzny Elbląskiej|date=2022-01-16|language=Polish}}</ref> It probably received its name from the forest area ''Rehberge'' (= germ. "Deer Mountains") in which it was situated. In 1432, the Order gave the village together with the Rehberge area to the provincial knight [[Hans von Baysen]], the Holy Spirit Hospital was compensated with other lands. Rehberg thus became a knight's estate.<ref name="Der Landkreis Elbing">{{cite web|url= https://www.elbing-land-familienforschung.de/Seite243.html |title=Der Landkreis Elbing|date=2022-01-16|language=German}}</ref> (German). In 1905 the village had 95 inhabitants.{{Citation needed|date=November 2023}}

After the defeat of the Teutonic Order, Rehberg came under the sovereignty of the [[Polish crown]] between 1466 and [[First Partition of Poland|1772]] as part of [[Royal Prussia]], and between 1772 and 1945 it belonged to the Prussian province of [[West Prussia]], consequently to the [[German Reich|German Empire]] since 1871. From about 1772 the village had its own school. It was closed in 1823, and the children were assigned to the school in [[Kadyny|Cadinen]], but they almost did not show up because of the large distance and often impassable roads.<ref name="Der Landkreis Elbing"/> Until 1945, the Lutheran Rehberg belonged to the parish of [[Tolkmicko|Tolkemit]].{{Citation needed|date=November 2023}}

After World War II, the German population was expelled from Rehberg and the village was renamed Pagórki. In today's Pagórki there still exists a stately arcaded house from the early 19th century with four arcades and a hipped roof. In addition, there is the "Kaiserstein" (Emperor's Stone), a monument commemorating a visit by Kaiser Wilhelm II. Construction of a village community centre began in spring 2013 and was completed at the end of the same year.
