history
The small village called Kallenczienen after 1785 and Kallentzien after 1820 originally belonged to the “Rheinsweinschen estates” of the Küchmeister von Sternberg family . It is believed that it existed as early as 1436. In 1717 it belonged to Georg Christoph Küchmeister von Sternberg . In 1762 twelve farmers and two gardeners were named in the Scharwerksdorf Kallenczin.
In 1874 Kallenczin was incorporated into the newly established district of Salleschen (also: Saleschen, Polish Zalesie ), which - renamed "District Rheinswein " in 1938 - existed until 1945 and belonged to the East Prussian district of Ortelsburg .
At the beginning of the 20th century, the Kallenczin estate became the property of the von Massenbach family . In 1910 the village had 263 inhabitants, in 1933 there were 421. Based on the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Kallenczin belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 to continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or the connection to Poland. In Kallenczin, 184 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.
On June 3, 1938 - officially confirmed on July 16 - Kallenczin was renamed "Kallenau" for political and ideological reasons to defend against foreign-sounding place names. The population was 414 in 1939.
In 1945, as a result of the war, Kallenau was transferred to Poland with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name "Kałęczyn". Today it is part of the rural community Dźwierzuty (Mensguth) in the powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then it belongs to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
