history
The small former town of Surteckgen had different names in the course of its history: after 1589 Zerterken , after 1603 Szertecken , after 1785 Sertegken and after 1818 Sertecken . Under the form of the name Serteggen , it was incorporated into the newly established district of Dobawen in 1874. The administrative district, which from 1939 was called "Amtsgebiet Dobauen", belonged to the district of Goldap in the administrative district of Gumbinnen in the Prussian province of East Prussia until 1945 .
In 1910 only 68 inhabitants were registered in Serteggen. Their number rose to 111 by 1933 and was 102 in 1939.
On June 3, 1938 - officially confirmed on July 16 - Serteggen was given the name "Serteck" as part of the National Socialist renaming campaign . As a result of the war, the place came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and has since been called "Żerdziny". Today it is part of the Gmina Dubeninki association in Gołdap County . Between 1975 and 1998 it belonged to the Suwałki Voivodeship , and since then it has been part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
church
The vast majority of the population of Serteggen resp. Sertecks was a Protestant denomination before 1945 and was parish in the parish of the Szittkehmen Church . It belonged to the church district Goldap in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . The few Catholics were oriented towards the parish church in Goldap in the Diocese of Warmia . Since 1945 the population of Żerdziny has been almost exclusively Catholic. Your parish church is the former Protestant church in Żytkiejmy, which now belongs to the Filipów deanship in the diocese of Ełk (Lyck) of the Catholic Church in Poland .
