history

The small village called Jesiorcken after 1785, Jetziorken after 1818 and Jesziorken until 1928 was mentioned in 1785 as a village with 22 fire places and in 1818 as a farming village with 23 fire places with 133 souls.

214 inhabitants were registered in Jesziorken in 1910. Their number changed to 1933 to 213 and amounted in 1939 to 205. Since April 18, 1928 Jesziorken led the changed place name "Prussian castle" - probably alluding to the east of the village lying altprußische Wallburg (Polish Grodzisko).

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Jesziorken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Jesziorken, 160 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

As a result of the war, the village came to Poland with all of southern East Prussia in 1945 and since then has borne the Polish form of the name "Jeziorko". Today it is a Schulzenamt (Polish sołectwo) and a village in the network of the urban and rural community Ryn (Rhine) in the powiat Giżycki ( Lötzen district ), before 1998 part of the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then it has belonged to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
