history
The place Skaisgirren , founded in 1611, consisted of several small farms before 1945. In 1874 the village was incorporated into the newly established district of Adlersfelde (no longer existent today), which was renamed in 1939 to "District of Unterfelde" (the place no longer exists) and until 1945 to the district of Goldap in the administrative district of Gumbinnen in the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged to.
In 1910 there were 139 inhabitants in Skaisgirren. Their number sank to 117 by 1933 and was still 106 in 1939. On June 3 - officially confirmed on July 16 - of the year 1938, Skaisgirren received the name "Hellerau (Ostpr.)" As part of the National Socialist renaming campaign . But this renaming should not last long. When the village became part of Poland in 1945 as a result of the war , it was given the Polish form of the name “Skajzgiry”. Between 1975 and 1998 the village belonged to the Suwałki Voivodeship , which was then dissolved. Today the place belongs to the Gmina Dubeninki in the powiat Gołdapski in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

The village did not have its own church, but belonged to the parish of Szittkehmen / Schittkehmen (1938 to 1945: fortified churches , today in Polish: Żytkiemy). This was incorporated into the church district Goldap in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union .
As a result of flight and displacement as a result of the war, life in the Protestant parish came to a standstill in 1945. Today there are only a few Protestant church members. They now belong to the parish in Gołdap , a branch of the parish in Suwałki (Suwalken) in the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland .
