history
Kutzen - also called Czirpinth before 1705 - was created in the 15th century as part of internal migration by settlers from the Lyck area . In 1502 it was recorded how the Komtur zu Rhein , Rudolf von Diepoltskirchen, sold one (further) hoof to the brothers Jan and Simon von Czirpint (Kutzen). 1509 is the official year of foundation.
On May 27, 1874, in the course of a Prussian community reform, the administrative district Sawadden was established , to which the rural communities Brodowen , Buczylowen, Cziessen , Czyntschen , Jebramken, Klein Lasken , Krzywen , Kutzen, Ossarken, Sypittken and Statzen as well as the manorial district Sawadden belonged.
On December 1, 1910, Kutzen - the actual village with the Kutzen estate ( Kuczki in Polish ) 1.3 kilometers to the north - had 205 inhabitants.
In 1908 the administrative district Sypittken comprised the rural communities of Czießen, Czynczen, Klein Lasken, Kutzen, Rundfließ (until renaming in 1907: Krzywen), Statzen and Sypittken and the manor district of Lyck, domain office (partially).
Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Kutzen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Kutzen, 120 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.
In 1931, as part of territorial changes, the district of Sypittken included the rural communities of Czynczen, Klein Lasken, Kutzen, Rundfließ, Seeheim (until renaming in 1908: Czießen), Statzen and Sypittken
In 1933 there were 208 inhabitants in Kutzen, in 1939 there were only 186.
After the end of the Second World War in 1945, Kutzen , which belonged to the German Reich ( East Prussia ), district of Lyck , fell to Poland . The resident German population, as far as they had not fled, was largely expelled or resettled after 1945 and replaced by new citizens from other parts of Poland in addition to the traditional Polish-Masurian minority.
The place Kutzen was renamed "Kucze" in the Polish phonetic translation of the historical place name, the estate (today: colony) is now called " Kuczki ".
From 1975 to 1998, Kucze belonged to what was then the Suwałki Voivodeship , then joined the newly formed Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship in 1999 . Today it is the seat of its own Schulzenamt ( Sołectwo in Polish ) and as such a village in the Gmina Kalinowo association .
