Geographical location

history

Schlepien was founded in 1567 and consisted of a few small farms. Between 1874 and 1945 the place was incorporated into the Gonsken district ( Gąski in Polish ), which - renamed "Herzogskirchen" in 1938 - belonged to the Oletzko district (1933 to 1945: Treuburg district) in the Gumbinnen district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .

In 1910 there were 52 inhabitants registered in Schlepien. Their number changed to 56 by 1933 and was still 55 in 1939.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Schlepien belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Schlepien, 34 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

On June 3 (officially confirmed on July 16) of the year 1938 Schlepien was renamed “Schlöppen” for political and ideological reasons to avoid foreign-sounding place names.

As a result of the war, the place came to Poland in 1945 with all of southern East Prussia and was given the Polish form of the name “Ślepie”. Today the hamlet ( Polish osada ) is the seat of a Schulzenamt (Polish sołectwo ) and a village in the network of the urban and rural community Olecko (Marggrabowa , 1928 to 1945 Treuburg) , before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
