history
The former manor village was founded in 1841 and was called Klein Bosemb before 1871 . In 1874 Waldhausen was incorporated into the newly created district of Weißenburg (today in Polish: Wyszembork), that of the district of Sensburg in the administrative district of Gumbinnen (today in Russian: Gussew ), from 1905 to 1945 in the administrative district of Allenstein (today in Polish: Olsztyn ), in the Prussian province East Prussia belonged. In 1910 Waldhausen had 47 inhabitants.
Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Waldhausen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Waldhausen, 20 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.
On September 30, 1928, Waldhausen lost its independence and was incorporated into the rural community of Weißenburg. From 1940 it was officially called Weißenburg (East Prussia) ; accordingly the district was renamed.
Towards the end of World War II , the Red Army occupied the region in January 1945 . Soon afterwards Waldhausen was placed under Polish administration together with Weißenburg and the southern half of East Prussia . The place was given the Polish name Boże Małe . Had not fled as far as the German citizens, they were in the period that followed expelled and replaced by Poles.
The village is now a district of Gmina Mrągowo (Town Sensburg) in mrągowo county (Sensburg) of Warmia and Mazury (1975-1998 Province Olsztyn (Olsztyn) ). Boże Małe is incorporated into the Boże Schulzenamt (Bosemb , 1938–1945 Bussen) .
