history

The small estate Scheuba was called Scheube after 1785 and Scheybe after 1818 . In 1874 he was appointed to the newly established District United Gablick ( Polish Gawliki Wielkie incorporated) that the county Lötzen in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905 and 1945 was: administrative district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged. In the same year Scheuba was also included in the registry office Widminnen (Wydminy). In 1910 the Scheuba manor district had 57 inhabitants.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Scheuba belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Scheuba, 40 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

On September 30, 1928, Scheuba lost its independence when it was incorporated into the rural community of Czarnowken , from 1938 to 1945 Grundensee (Czarnówka in Polish).

In war-induced Scheuba 1945 came as the district of Grundensee with the whole southern East Prussia to Poland and carries since then the Polish form of the name "Siejba". Today the hamlet (osada in Polish) is part of the rural community Wydminy (Widminnen) in the powiat Giżycki ( Lötzen district ), before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
