history

The small village called Geirowsken in 1709 , Gerreyoffken in 1785 and Friedrichsheyde until 1938 was founded in 1709 as a Schatulldorf . In 1874 the newly established Wessolowen District ( Wesołowo in Polish , no longer existent ), which - renamed the Fronicken District in 1938 - existed until 1945 and belonged to the Oletzko district in the Gumbinnen district in the Prussian province of East Prussia . During the same period, Friedrichsheyde was assigned to the Wessolowen registry office .

In 1910 Friedrichsheyde had 213 inhabitants; In 1933 there were 174.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Friedrichsheyde belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Friedrichsheyde 149 inhabitants for staying with East Prussia, no votes were cast for Poland.

On June 3, 1938 - officially confirmed on July 16 - the spelling of the place name was changed to Friedrichsheide . In 1939 the population was 157.

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 Gajrowskie . Today the village is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish sołectwo ) within the rural community of Wydminy (Widminnen) in the powiat Giżycki ( Lötzen district ), until 1998 of the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
