history

In 1444, the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order, Konrad von Erlichshausen , gave Nicklis Crowse the right to build a village on the site of today's Kruszewiec. For a short time, from 1826 to 1832, services were held here in Polish.

During the Second World War , the village was used as a storage facility for the Wolfsschanze headquarters. In January 1945 the Red Army marched into the area and as a result of the war Krausendorf became part of the People's Republic of Poland as Kruszewiec .

In 1954 the village became the center of a Gromada , in which in 1960 3,110 people lived on an area of ​​93 km². After a restructuring of the Gromada, there were 25 Schulzenämter in 1968, divided into five Schulzenämter to Gromada Kruszewiec. After the Gromadas in Poland were dissolved, the village became the seat of a Schulzenamt in the municipality of Kętrzyn, to which the villages of Cegielnia , Karolewo , Krużgany and Wymiarki belonged.
