history

The hamlet ( Osada in Polish ), called Kallenczinnen after 1785 , Kalendzinnen after 1818 and Kallenzinnen until 1938 , was founded in 1522 by the Teutonic Knight Order as a free estate with 20 hooves under Magdeburg law .

In 1910 Kallenzinnen had 296 inhabitants.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Kallenzinnen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Kallenzinnen, 200 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

On September 30, 1928 the neighboring manor district Adlig Borken ( Polish Borki ) was incorporated into Kallenzinnen. The inhabitants thus increased to 1933 to 439. On June 3 (officially confirmed on 16 July) 1938 Kalle battlements was foreign-sounding place names in "Three field" for political and ideological reasons of defense renamed . The population was 398 in 1939.

As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and since then has borne the Polish form of name "Kałęczyn". Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and thus a locality within the city and rural community of Pisz (Johannisburg) in the Powiat Piski ( Johannisburg district ), until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then assigned to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
