history

The front of 1,579 Krzuwentzke after 1785 Krzywiensken , after 1871 Krziwinsken and until 1938 Krzywinsken called small village was in 1874 in the newly built office district Monethen (Polish Monety incorporated), which existed until 1945 and the county Johannesburg in Administrative district Gumbinnen (from 1905: Allenstein district ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Krzywinsken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Krzywinsken, 120 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

On June 3, 1938 Krzywinsken was foreign-sounding place names in "Heldenhöh" for political and ideological reasons of defense renamed . The population rose to 181 by 1939.

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 "Krzywińskie". Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt (Polish Sołectwo ) and as such a place in the association of Gmina Prostki (Prostken) in the powiat Ełcki ( Lyck district ), until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then assigned to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
