history

The small estate, known as the Brachvogel dismantling until June 8, 1815 , was incorporated into the newly established district of Lawken ( Ławki in Polish ) in the district of Lötzen in the district of Gumbinnen (1905 to 1945: district of Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia . In 1910 the place had 18 inhabitants.

Between 1874 and 1913 Justusberg was assigned to the registry office in Orlen (Orło in Polish), then until 1945 to the registry office in Rhine (Ryn).

Based on the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Justusberg belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Justusberg, 20 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote. On September 30, 1928 Justusberg lost its independence and was incorporated into the rural community of Rübenzahl (Rybical in Polish).

As a result of the war, Justusberg came to Poland in 1945 with all of southern East Prussia and was given the Polish name “Siejkowo”. Today it is part of the urban and rural community Ryn (Rhine) in the powiat Giżycki ( Lötzen district ) , before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
