history

The year of foundation of the village of Krupinnen , which comprises a few small farms, is 1529.

In 1874 it was in the newly built office district Ostrokollen (1938 to 1945 Scharfenrade , Polish Ostrykół ) incorporated, which existed until 1945 and the county elk in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905: Administrative district Allenstein in the Prussian province of East Prussia ) belonged.

In 1910 Krupinnen had 50 inhabitants. During this time, the village lost its independence and was incorporated into the rural community of Popowen (1938 to 1945 Wittingen , Polish Popowo ). It was part of the Borken district in the Lyck district.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Krupinnen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Krupinnen, 20 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

On June 3, 1938, Krupinnen was renamed "Kleinwittingen" for political and ideological reasons .

As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name "Krupin". Today the place is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and thus a place in the association of Gmina Prostki (Prostken) in powiat Ełcki ( Lyck district ), until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
