Narmeln was depopulated after the war, and the Soviet side of the Vistula Spit was made into an exclusion zone, which remains in effect today.

In the interbellum, after the creation of the Free City of Danzig in accordance with the terms of the Versailles Treaty Narmeln was joined with the area around Elbing (Elbląg) to the German province of East Prussia.

Following Germany's invasion of Poland at the start of World War II, the village was included in the newly formed province of Reichsgau Danzig-West Prussia, the bulk of which was German-occupied Polish Pomerania.

After the occupation of Tolkemit (Tolkmicko) on January 26, the German refugees fled over the ice of the Vistula Lagoon from Passarge (Nowa Pasłęka) to Narmeln.

After the war, the settlement passed to the Soviet Union and the German inhabitants were expelled[citation needed] in accordance with the Potsdam Agreement.
