history

The village of Gordeyken , also spelled Gordeicken after 1785 , was founded in 1557. Between 1874 and 1945 the site was in the District Olschöwen integrated, the - renamed "District Erlental" 1934 - the county Oletzko (1933 and 1945 was: Circle Treuburg) in Administrative district Gumbinnen in the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged. During the same period, Gordeyken was assigned to the Marggrabowa (Land) registry office .

In 1910 Gordeyken recorded with the incorporated village of Klein Gordeyken ( Polish Gordejki Małe ) a total of 273 inhabitants. Their number rose to 306 by 1933 and totaled 250 in 1939.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Gordeyken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Gordeyken, 217 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

On June 3 (officially confirmed on July 16) of the year 1938, the spelling of the place name was changed from "Gordeyken" to "Gordeiken".

As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and has been using the Polish form of name "Gordejki" ever since. Today the place is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish sołectwo ), which includes the neighboring village of Gordejki Małe (Klein Gordeyken , 1938 to 1945 Kleingordeiken) . It is now part of the urban and rural community of Olecko (Marggrabowa , 1928 to 1945 Treuburg) in the powiat Olecki ( Oletzko district , Treuburg district from 1933 to 1945 ), until 1998 of the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
