history

Founded in 1565 and then called Lega , around 1785 Krzywirock , after 1785 Krummenorth , originally only consisted of a large farm. In 1874 the Krummenort manor district was incorporated into the newly established Peitschendorf district ( Piecki in Polish ), which belonged to the Sensburg district in the Gumbinnen district (from 1905: Allenstein district ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia . In 1910 Krummenort had 58 inhabitants.

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

On September 30, 1928, Krummenort gave up its independence and was incorporated into the neighboring rural community of Glashütte ( Szklarnia in Polish ).

In 1945 all of southern East Prussia was surrendered to Poland as a result of the war , including Krummenort. It was given the Polish form of name "Krzywy Róg" and is now a village within the rural community Piecki (whip village ) in the powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .

Today Krzywy Róg belongs to the parish of the evangelical St. Trinity Church Mrągowo with its branch parish in Nawiady (Aweyden) within the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland and also to the Catholic parish of Nawiady in the current Archdiocese of Warmia .
