history

Pietraschen , founded in 1550, is a widely scattered village, previously provided with a windmill .

Before 1945, the Pietraschen estate belonged to the village of Pietraschen, now an independent place, which is also called Pietrasze in Polish . The municipality and district boundary between Wydminy (Widminnen) in the district of Giżycko (Lötzen) and Świętajno (Schwentainen) in the district of Olecko (Oletzko / Treuburg) now runs between the two places that used to belong to the Lyck district .

From 1874 to 1945 Pietraschen was incorporated into the Gorlowken District (in Polish Gorłówko ). 1939 renamed "District Gorlau", he was the county elk in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905 and 1945 was: administrative district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia assigned.

In 1910 a total of 324 inhabitants were registered in Pietraschen, in 1933 there were just as many. Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Pietraschen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Pietraschen, 220 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

On June 3, 1938, Pietraschen was renamed "Petersgrund (East Prussia)". The number of inhabitants fell to 267 by 1939.

As a result of the war, Pietraschen came to Poland in 1945 with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name “Pietrasze”. The village "moved" from the Lyck district to the Giżycki powiat ( Lötzen district ) and is now the seat of a Schulzenamt (sołectwo in Polish) and thus a place within the rural community of Wydminy (Widminnen) , before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , and since then the Warmia Voivodeship Masuria belonging.
