history

The village of Macharren was founded in 1555 with five Hufen under Kulmer law . In 1785 it is mentioned as a "köllmisches village with 36 fireplaces".

Between 1874 and 1945 Macharren was in the District Gollingen ( Polish Golen ) incorporated, which for Sensburg in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905: Administrative district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Macharren belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Macharren, 280 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not cast any votes.

In 1945, as a result of the war, all of southern East Prussia was transferred to Poland . This also affected Macharren, which received the Polish form of the name “Machary”. Today it is a town in the rural community composite Piecki (whip village) in mrągowo county (Kreis Sensburg ) until 1998, the Olsztyn province , since the Warmia and Mazury belong.
