history

The year of foundation of the village, called Gorczekallen after 1818, Gorszekallen after 1871 and Gorzekallen until 1938, is the year 1542. In 1874 the place, whose school was located one kilometer south-east, was incorporated into the Kempnio district , later called the Grondowken district. It existed until 1945 and was part of the county elk in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905: Administrative district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

109 inhabitants were registered in Gorzekallen in 1910; in 1933 there were already 156.

On the basis of the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Gorzekallen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Gorzekallen, 60 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.

On June 3 (officially confirmed on 16 July) 1938 Gorzekallen was foreign-sounding place names in "Gortzen" for political and ideological reasons of defense renamed . The population in 1939 was 161.

When all of southern East Prussia was transferred to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war , Gorzekallen alias Gortzen was one of them. The place received the Polish form of the name "Gorzekały". Today he is part of the urban and rural community of Orzysz (Arys) in the Powiat Piski ( Johannisburg district ), until 1998 in the Suwałki Voivodeship , and since then in the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .

Until 1945 Gorzekallen was parish in the Evangelical Church Klaussen in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Roman Catholic Church in Lyck ( Ełk ) in the Diocese of Warmia .

Today Gorzekały belongs to the Catholic parish Klusy in the Diocese of Ełk of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland . The Protestant residents stick to the parish in the town of Ełk, a branch parish of the Pisz parish ( German  Johannisburg ) in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland .
