history

Originally this region was inhabited by the pagan Prussians . Since 1243 the area belonged to the Teutonic Order State . After the Second Peace of Thorn in 1466, the region became part of the Duchy of Prussia and in 1525 the Reformation was introduced. With the hand festival on June 21, 1706 Jerutten was founded as a casket village in the Kingdom of Prussia and was part of the province of East Prussia . United Jerutten belonged to the 1818-1945 district Szczytno in the administrative district of Olsztyn on. In July 1874, the district of Klein Jerutten ( Jerutki in Polish ) was formed with the rural community of Groß Jerutten.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Groß Jerutten belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Groß Jerutten, 413 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.

At the end of January 1945, Groß Jerutten was taken by the Red Army and placed under the Soviet command. After the end of the war, the village came to Poland and received the Polish form of the name "Jeruty". The village is the seat of a Schulzenamt (Polish Sołectwo ) and thus a locality within the rural community Świętajno (Schwentainen , 1938 to 1945 Altkirchen) , from 1975 to 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .

Today Jeruty belongs to the Protestant parish church in Szczytno in the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland and to the Catholic St. Adalbert Church in Gawrzyjałki with the Olszyny branch in the Archdiocese of Warmia in the Roman Catholic Church in Poland .
