history

Local history

The first documented mention of the village comes from the year 1374, when it is mentioned in a hand-held festival and the construction of the village is documented according to Kulm law . In the place of the village there was already a Prussian village, from which the name was taken. Presumably the surrounding fields were already desolate for some time, since the settlers were exempted from tax burdens for eleven years. 54 Hufe of land belonged to the village, ten of which were forest. The residents were allowed to fish for their own use. On June 29, 1390, the village was extended by the commander of Balga Arnoldt von Bürgk to another meadow between Köligkeim in Lebenstein (later Löwenstein , now Lwowiec ) the size of a hoof. Another 19 acres of meadows were awarded to the village by the Komtur von Balga Conradt von Kiburg on May 24, 1392. In 1437 there were two taverns in the village.

In 1468, the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order Heinrich Reuss von Plauen left all income from the village to Niklas von Kelitten for the duration of his life. For this, von Kelitten had to provide a mounted warrior if the order required. On March 21, 1489, Hans von Tiefen Kröligkeim awarded a further seven hooves to the village of Perdekeim, which were only allowed to be used as general property. In 1543 a Colonel Wolf von Kreytzen was the owner of Kröligkeim, he had received the property as pledge for 40,000 marks which he had lent to the Great Elector. In 1738/39 an elementary school was founded in Kröligkeim, since the Principia regulativa now applied to all of Prussia and stipulated that schooling was compulsory .

In 1924 a paved road was built in the direction of Skandau ( Skandawa ), but ended at the corridor border about 360 meters from Sillginnen ( Silginy ) from where there was a paved road to Skandau. During the First World War Kröligkeim was occupied by Russian troops, the people who had fled before returned to their homes. Acts of violence by the occupiers were largely absent, and after about four weeks the Russians had to withdraw. While retreating, two German soldiers were shot and buried in the Kröligkeim cemetery.

In 1936, the Reich Labor Service began to regulate the Guber River , as it regularly had its dams broken and then spilled over the fields. Due to the Second World War , the work could not be finished. On January 26, 1945, the residents fled from the advancing Red Army . As a result of the Second World War , the village became part of the People's Republic of Poland . In 1970 234 inhabitants were counted in the village. 1973 was Krelikiejmy Schulzenamt of the Skandawa municipality . Today the village forms a Schulzenamt ( sołectwo ) in the Barciany municipality.
