history

In 1483, the small, after 1785 was Chrosczellen after 1818 Chrosciellen and after 1871 Chroscziellen called village founded. Between 1874 and 1945, it was as an independent rural community incorporated in the District Elk Country, which is based in Neuendorf ( Polish Nowa Wieś Ełcka ) in district Elk in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905 Government district Allenstein ) the Prussian province of East Prussia had. In 1910 a total of 113 people lived in Chrosczialen.

Based on the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Chrosczialen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Chrosczialen, 80 people voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not.

On May 8, 1933, Chrosczialen was renamed Kreuzfeld as part of a National Socialist renaming campaign that was later carried out systematically . The population in the same year was 129 and was 124 in 1939.

As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945 with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name Chruściele . Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and thus a village in the Gmina Ełk (rural municipality Lyck ) in the powiat Ełcki ( Lyck district ), until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship.
