history

Today's settlement ( Polish Osada ) Janiszewo was in 1818, the "noble Vorwerk Johannisthal", was once a dwelling place for Gutsbezirk Choszewen ( Polish Choszczewo ) in Sensburg in the Prussian province of East Prussia . In 1818 the small town had 21 inhabitants, in 1905 it had 29 inhabitants.

On September 30, 1928 the manor district Choszewen and with it the Vorwerk Johannisthal were incorporated into the rural community Choszewen A , which was renamed as rural community Choszewen in 1936 in "Hohensee".

As a result of the war, Johannisthal came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name "Janiszewo". Today it is a place within the Gmina Sorkwity (Sorquitten) in the powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then assigned to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
