history

Originally the region was inhabited by the pagan Prussians . Since 1243 the area belonged to the Teutonic Order State . In 1525 the region became part of the Duchy of Prussia and with its conversion in 1701 it became part of the Kingdom of Prussia .

Kleinort was founded around 1700. In 1781, Kleinort and Kleinbrück became an estate and in 1785 it was a casket with four houses.

From 1818 to 1945 Kleinort was in the Sensburg district . In July 1874, the district of Peitschendorf No. 18 was formed with the rural community of Kleinorth. In 1939 there were 62 inhabitants in Kleinort.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Kleinort belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Kleinort, 40 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

Towards the end of World War II , Kleinort was captured and occupied by the Red Army during the East Prussian Operation at the end of January 1945 . After the end of the war, Kleinort and the southern part of East Prussia were placed under Polish administration. The place was renamed Piersławek . As far as the people had not fled, they were in the period that followed sold .

From 1975 to 1998 Piersławek belonged to the Olsztyn Voivodeship , and since 1999 it has been part of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
