history

The small village was founded under the name Klincken in 1475 and was called Groß Gonschiorowen after 1818 and Groß Gonschorowen until 1938 . Before 1945 it consisted of several large courtyards.

From 1874 to 1945 Groß Gonschorowen was incorporated into the Babken district (in Polish Babki Gąseckie ). It belonged - renamed the Babeck district in 1938 - to the Oletzko district (1933–1945 Treuburg district ) in the Gumbinnen district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .

On December 1, 1910, Groß Gonschorowen had 98 inhabitants. Their number decreased to 65 by 1933 and totaled 70 in 1939.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Groß Gonschorowen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Groß Gonschorowen, 63 people voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

From June 3 (officially confirmed on July 16) of the year 1938, the village had the name Klinken (Ostpr.) , Which, according to the political and ideological view, did not sound so foreign .

In 1945, the village came in consequence of the war with the entire southern East Prussia to Poland and carries since then the Polish name form Gąsiorowo . Today it is part of the rural community Wieliczki (Wielitzken , 1938–1945 Wallenrode) in Powiat Olecki ( Oletzko district , Treuburg district 1933–1945 ), until 1998 part of the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
