Geographical location

Cierzpięty is located on the southern shore of the Buwelno Lake (1929-1945 Martinshagener See , Polish Jezioro Buwełno ) in the eastern Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship. The district town of Pisz ( German  Johannisburg ) is 27 kilometers further south.

history

The Tirttell after 1774 Zierspienten and after 1785 Czierspienten called town was founded in 1539 as interest village.

The place belonged to the district Johannisburg in the administrative region Gumbinnen (from 1905 administrative region Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia . From 1874 to 1945 he was incorporated into the Dombrowken district (from 1930 Eichendorf district ).

Czierspienten was on January 16, 1905 above sea level renamed. In 1910, 322 inhabitants were registered at sea level. Their number decreased to 268 by 1933 and was only 232 in 1939.

Based on the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Seehöhe belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. At sea level, 240 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not cast any votes.

When in 1945 all of southern East Prussia fell to Poland as a result of the war , the village of Seehöhe was also affected and received the Polish name form Cierzpięty . Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ), which also includes the neighboring town of Buwełno (Buwelno , 1938–1945 Vorwerk Ublick) . Thus, the village belongs to the urban and rural community Orzysz (Arys) in the powiat Piski ( Johannisburg district ), until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
