history

According to the founding deed of July 18, 1786, lands were inherited during the "dismantling" of the Schodmack farm. On February 23, 1787, the village expanded by land from the Corpeller Forest .

In 1874 Schodmack came to the newly established Corpellen district (1928 to 1945 "Korpellen", in Polish Korpele ), which existed until 1945 and belonged to the East Prussian district of Ortelsburg . In 1910 the rural community of Schodmack had 101 inhabitants.

On the basis of the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Schodmack belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Schodmack, 80 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not cast any votes.

On September 30, 1928, the neighboring manor district Lentzienen (Polish Wólka Szczycieńska ) was incorporated into Schodmack. The population of the village was 188 in 1933.

For political and ideological reasons to defend against foreign-sounding place names, Schodmack was renamed "Wiesendorf" on June 3rd - officially confirmed on July 16th - 1938. The number of inhabitants rose to 212 by 1939.

With the whole of southern East Prussia , the village was transferred to Poland in 1945 and received the Polish name form "Siódmak". Today the place with the seat of a Schulzenamt (Polish Sołectwo ) is a place in the network of the rural community Szczytno (Ortelsburg) in the powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then it belongs to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship . The population was 146 in 2011.
