history

The small village , known as Klein Skallischkem before 1603, became an official village on May 6, 1874, giving its name to a newly established administrative district . It existed - but renamed the Altheide District in 1939 - until 1945 and was part of the Darkehmen district (called "Angerapp district" from 1939 to 1945) in the Gumbinnen administrative district of the Prussian province of East Prussia . In 1910 a total of 183 inhabitants were registered here, 98 of them in the rural community of Skallischen and 85 in the manor district Oberförsterei Skallischen. The number of inhabitants was 176 in 1925, but rose - not least thanks to the incorporation of the neighboring village of Broszaitschen (1938 to 1945 Brosen, Polish Brożajcie ) on September 30, 1928 - to 211 by 1933 and 327 in 1939. On June 3 (officially confirmed on July 16) of the year 1938 Skallischen was renamed "Altheide (Ostpr.)" for political and ideological reasons of the defense against foreign-sounding place names.

In 1945 the village was in consequence of the war with the southern East Prussia Poland assigned and received first the Polish name "Janki", then (before 2005) "Skalisko" and finally the current name "Skalisze". Today the place is incorporated into the Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) Zabrost Wielki (Groß Sobrost) within the rural community Budry in the powiat Węgorzewski and was part of the Suwałki Voivodeship before 1998 , and since then it has belonged to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
