history

The former Georgengut , called Jürgenguth after 1785 and Georgensguth before 1871 , was founded in 1384. The Grand Master Konrad Zöllner von Rotenstein awarded Jakob , Jürgen and Dietrich Land and the privilege of fishing “at the table” in the founding document of February 12th of that year . "Because it had been lost in the past troubled times," Grand Master Paul von Rußdorf renewed the celebration in 1429.

Between 1874 and 1945 Gegorgensguth was in the District Nareythen (Polish Narajty ) in the East Prussian district Szczytno incorporated.

In 1910, 175 residents were registered in Georgensguth. Their number was 220 in 1933 and 173 in 1939.

Georgensguth was transferred to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war with all of southern East Prussia . The village was given the Polish form of the name “Jurgi” and today, with the seat of a Schulzenamt, is part of the urban and rural community Pasym (Passenheim) in the Powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship associated.
