history

In 1445 the village, called Jeschen after 1540, Jeschenn after 1550 and Jeschouen around 1579, was founded by the Teutonic Knight Order as a service with 30 hooves under Magdeburg law .

On April 8, 1874, the place was Amtsdorf, giving its name to an administrative district that existed until 1945.

582 inhabitants were registered in Gehsen in 1910. Their number rose to 661 by 1933 and totaled 621 in 1939.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Gehsen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Gehsen, 460 people voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not.

When southern East Prussia was transferred to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war , Gehsen was also affected. The village received the Polish form of the name "Jeże". Today the place is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and thus a place in the network of the city and rural community Pisz (Johannisburg) in Powiat Piski ( Johannisburg district ), until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship . In 2011 the population was 328.
