Siemki ( German  Scharfs ) is a village in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . It belongs to the Gmina Reszel ( urban and rural community Rößel ) in the powiat Kętrzyński ( Rastenburg district ).

Geographical location

history

The village and Vorwerk, called Scharffs around 1819 , was first mentioned in 1480. In 1874 it was incorporated into the newly established district of Jeesau ( Polish: Jeżewo ) in the district of Rastenburg in the administrative district of Königsberg in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

On September 30, 1928, the rural community of Scharfs expanded when it merged with the manor district Schrengen ( Linkowo in Polish ) to form the new rural community of Scharfs. As such, it was reclassified to the Groß Neuhof district ( Biedaszki in Polish ) on May 23, 1929 .

1945 came Scharf in consequence of the war with the entire southern East Prussia to Poland and received the Polish form of the name "Siemki". Today the village is the seat of a Schulzenamt (Polish Sołectwo ) and thus a place in the network of the urban and rural community Reszel (Rößel) in the powiat Kętrzyński ( Rastenburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
