history

The little before 1785 Sniodowen before 1818 Smiodowen before 1912 Schniedowen place indicated originally only of a few small villages. Between 1874 and 1945 it was incorporated into the Muntowen district ( Muntowo in Polish ), which - renamed "Muntau District" in 1938 - belonged to the Sensburg district in the Gumbinnen district (1905 to 1945: Allenstein district ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia . Muntowen (1938 to 1945: Muntau) was also the seat of the responsible registry office .

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Schniodowen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Schniodowen, 60 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not cast any votes.

Schniodowen had 86 inhabitants in 1910, 81 in 1933 and 80 in 1939. On June 3 (officially confirmed on July 16) 1938, Schniodowen was renamed "Schniedau" for political and ideological reasons to avoid foreign-sounding place names.

As a result of the war, the place came to Poland in 1945 along with the whole of southern East Prussia and received the Polish name form "Śniadowo".
