history

The year 1494 is considered to be the founding year of Skorupken (around 1785: Skorupcken), when Rudolf von Diepoltskirchen wrote a service item for 15 hooves in Skorupken. The small village consisted of several large and small farms.

Between 1874 and 1945 Skorupken was incorporated into the district of Lawken ( Ławki in Polish ). This - 1938 renamed "District Lauken" - was part of the circle Lötzen in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905 and 1945 was: administrative district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

In 1874 Skorupken was assigned to the registry office in Orlen (Orło in Polish), after its dissolution from 1913 to 1945 the registry office in Rhine (Ryn).

In 1910 the village had 210 inhabitants. Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Skorupken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Skorupken, 140 people voted to stay with East Prussia, while Poland did not.

On June 28, 1927, it was renamed “Schalensee”. The number of inhabitants decreased to 157 by 1933 and was only 93 in 1939.

With the whole of southern East Prussia , the place came to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war and since then has borne the Polish name form "Skorupki". Today it is part of the urban and rural community Ryn (Rhine) in the Giżycki powiat ( Lötzen district ), before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
