history

Before 1785 Andres Korzep , after 1785 Klein Mroszen , around 1818 Klein Mrotzen and until 1945 Klein Mrosen , the place was founded in 1484. It consisted of several farms .

On May 27, 1874 Klein was Mrosen seat of the administrative district Selment which - in the Nov. 15, 1938 renamed - the "District Schönhorst (Ostpr.)" Circle Elk in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905: Administrative district Allenstein in the Prussian province of East Prussia ) was one .

In the years 1905 to 1907 the manor district Klein Mrosen was incorporated into the rural community of Groß Mrosen ( Mrozy Wielkie in Polish ). It was renamed “Mrossen” in 1929 and “Schönhorst (Ostpr.)” In 1938, which also prompted the administrative district to change its name in 1938.

As a result of the war, Klein Mrosen came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and since then has borne the Polish name form "Mrozy Małe". The place is now part Schulz Office ( Polish Sołectwo ) Mrozy based in Mrozy Wielkie , making it a town within the Gmina Ełk (Town Elk ) in Powiat Ełcki (county elk ), before 1998 the Suwalki province , since the Warmia and Mazury belong .
