history

The small village called Liepen before 1785 and then Krzywen until 1934 was founded in 1563.

From 1874 to 1945 the place was incorporated into the administrative district Schwentainen ( Polish Świętajno ), which belonged to the Oletzko district (1933 to 1945 Treuburg district) in the Gumbinnen district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .

In 1910 Krzywen had 499 inhabitants, in 1933 there were 424.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Krzywen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Krzywen, 343 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

On January 31, 1934, Krzywen was renamed "Bergenau" for political and ideological reasons to avoid foreign-sounding place names. The population was 401 in 1933.

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 "Krzywe". Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt (Polish sołectwo) and thus a place in the network of the rural community Świętajno (Schwentainen) in Powiat Olecki ( Oletzko / Treuburg district) , before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then it has belonged to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
