history

The village, called Zierspinten after 1777, Zierspienten after 18818 and Czierspienten until 1906 , was founded in 1570. From 1874 to 1945, it was in the District Aweyden ( Polish Nawiady ) incorporated, which for Sensburg in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905: Administrative district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged. On October 10, 1906, the village was renamed "Zollernhöhe", and on September 30, 1929 the Modersohn forestry (until 1926 Kollogien , Polish Kosowiec ) was incorporated.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Zollernhöhe belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Zollernhöhe, 300 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

As a result of the war, all of southern East Prussia became part of Poland in 1945 . This also affected Zollernhöhe, which since then has borne the Polish name form "Cierzpięty", which takes up the historical place name. Today the village is a seat Schulz Office ( Polish Sołectwo ) and thus a town in the rural community composite Piecki (whip village) in mrągowo county (Kreis Sensburg ) until 1998, the Olsztyn province , since the Warmia and Mazury belong.
