history

The year Krzywonoga was founded (after 1785 Krummfuss , after 1820 Krzywonoggen ) is not known. The village was mentioned for the first time in 1628, but as early as 1653 the place was described as "completely desolate". This note appears again and again up to the year 1724. Then there is the note in 1725, “that the place must be reorganized”. This began on May 15, 1741 under the village mayor Friedrich Krzykowski . As recently as 1781, the economic conditions of the inhabitants were classified as “not very favorable”. An improvement did not occur until the 19th century.

When the Scheufelsdorf district ( Tylkowo in Polish ) was established in the Ortelsburg district within the Königsberg district (from 1905 Allenstein district ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia , Krzywonoggen was incorporated. Three years later - on September 19, 1877 - Krzywonoggen was renamed "Crooked Foot", which should be equivalent to a literal translation.

In 1910, 171 inhabitants were registered in Krummfuß. Their number was 170 in 1933 and 184 in 1939.

In 1945, as a result of the war, Krummfuß became part of Poland along with the entire southern East Prussia . The village received the Polish form of the name "Krzywonoga" and as the seat of a Schulz Office (Polish Sołectwo ) today a village in the network of urban and rural community Pasym (Passenheim) in Szczytno County until 1998, the Olsztyn province , since the Warmia and Mazury belong . In 2011 the place had 129 inhabitants.

church

Until 1945, Krummfuß was parish in the Protestant Church of Passenheim in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and also in the Roman Catholic church of the city in the Diocese of Warmia .

Krzywonoga is now part of the Pasym Evangelical Church in the Masurian Diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland and also to the Catholic Church in Pasym and Purda (Great Purden) in the current Archdiocese of Warmia .
