history

In 1513 the small village called Heybutten was founded. When the Neuhoff district ( Zelki in Polish ) was established in 1874, the Heybutten estate was included. The municipality belonged until 1945 to the county Lötzen in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905 to 1945: Administrative district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia . Heybutten was also assigned to the Widminnen registry office (Wydminy in Polish). In 1910 the village had 95 inhabitants.

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

On September 30, 1928 Heybutten gave up his independence and was incorporated into the rural community of Neuhoff (Zelki). As a result of the war, the village was transferred to Poland with all of southern East Prussia in 1945 and received the Polish form of name “Hejbuty”. Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish sołectwo ) and a village in the community of Wydminy (Widminnen) in the powiat Giżycki ( Lötzen district ), before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
