history

The village, called Cyprken after 1785 and Czyprken until 1928 , was founded in 1561. From 1874 to 1945, it belonged to the District Milken ( Polish Milki ) within the circle Lötzen in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905-1945 Administrative district Allenstein ) the Prussian province of East Prussia . During the same period, the village was also assigned to the Milken registry office . In 1910 Czyprken had 208 inhabitants.

On the basis of the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Czyprken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Czyprken, 120 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not cast any votes.

On October 24, 1928, Czyprken was renamed Freiort . The population was 227 in 1933 and was already 244 in 1939.

As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name Czyprki . Today it is part of the rural community Miłki (Milken) in the powiat Giżycki ( Lötzen district ), until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then it belongs to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
