history

Dziersken - before 1785 Dziersk - was founded in 1612 and originally consisted of only two farms. In 1874 the village was incorporated into the newly established Burdungen district ( Burdąg in Polish ), which belonged to the East Prussian Neidenburg district . In 1910 Dziersken had 31 inhabitants.

On April 1, 1936, the small rural community of Dziersken was incorporated into the neighboring rural community of Neuhof ( Nowy Dwór in Polish ), at the same time the place name of Dziersken was changed to "Althöfen".

When all of southern East Prussia fell to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war , Althöfen was also affected. The village was given the Polish form of the name "Dzierzki" and is now a place within the rural community Jedwabno (1938 to 1945 Gedwangen ) in the powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
