The place Peitschendorf was founded in 1401 by Ulrich von Jungingen .

On April 8, 1874, it became an official village and thus gave its name to an administrative district that existed until 1945 and belonged to the Sensburg district in the Gumbinnen district (from 1905 Allenstein district ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Peitschendorf belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Peitschendorf, 720 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland received no votes.

Towards the end of the Second World War , the Red Army occupied the region in the spring of 1945 . Soon after, Peitschendorf was placed under Polish administration together with the southern half of East Prussia . Unless the inhabitants had fled, they were subsequently expelled and replaced by Poles. Peitschendorf received the Polish form of the name Piecki .

From 1975 to 1998 the village was part of the Olsztyn Voivodeship . On June 26, 1996, a new municipal coat of arms was introduced.

Place name

In 1401 the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order Ulrich von Jungingen assigned 45 Hufen Land to the Petzym von Muschkake for the construction of a settlement. The name of the village developed from Petzym , which was still called Petzendorf in the 15th century and Pieczken before 1785 , then Peitschendorf until 1945 and since then Piecki .

Church history

The parish of Aweyden ( Nawiady in Polish ), in which whip village was parish, existed since about 1437 . At the turn of the 19th / 20th In the twentieth century, the region had grown in terms of population so that church work in the parish could no longer be managed. Peitschendorf itself had grown to 1,039 inhabitants in 1905, of which 1,008 were Protestant. Special auxiliary preachers were used for Peitschendorf, but they remained subordinate to the parish in Aweyden. The services and events took place in the town hall.

The church from 1934 in Piecki / Peitschendorf - Protestant until 1945, since then Catholic church

In 1934, a specially built church in Peitschendorf was consecrated and at the same time an independent parish was established, which, however, remained parochial connected with Aweyden. A similar project for the parish of Langendorf ( Dłużec in Polish ) could not be realized until 1945.

Parish Peitschendorf belonged to the parish of Sensburg in the church province of East Prussia of the Evangelical Church of the Old Prussian Union until 1945 .

Due to the flight and expulsion of the local population , after 1945 the church life of the Protestant community in the whip village, now known as “Piecki”, came to a standstill. The living here today evangelical church members now belong to the parish church of St. Trinity Mrągowo in the diocese Mazury the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland , which in Nawiady a filial community maintains.
