In Matheussek, 20 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not.

On September 30, 1928, Matheussek gave up its independence and became part of the community of Schimonken (1938 to 1945 Schmidtsdorf , Polish Szymonka ). For political and ideological reasons to defend against foreign names, Matheussek was renamed "Mathiessen" in 1938 .
