Geographical location
The village is located ten kilometers as the crow flies south of the village of Kalinowo on a road from Borzymy (Borszymmen , 1936–1938 Borschymmen , 1938–1945 Borschimmen) to Lisewo (Lyssewen , 1938–1945 Lissau) . It is located on the west bank of Lake Przepioken (1923 to 1945 Wachteldorfer See , Jezioro Przepiórka in Polish ).
history
Skrzypken was established in 1495 by settlers who immigrated from Mazovia and for a long time had an exclusively Mazovian population.
On May 27, 1874, as part of a Prussian community reform, a new district Borczymmen (from 1881: Borszymmen , from 1936: Borschymmen , from 1938 Borschimmen , Polish Borzymy ) was formed, which includes the communities Borczymmen , Jendreyken , Lyssewen , Przepiorken , Skrzypken and Stosznen and includes the manor district Romotten and lakes. In 1908 the municipalities of Duttken , Gronsken and Romanowen and the Imionken manor district were reclassified from the previous Dluggen district to the Borszymmen district.
In 1910 Skrzypken had 120 inhabitants. Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Skrzypken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Skrzypken, 100 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.
Skrzypken was renamed on February 9, 1926 in the course of the Germanization of place names of Masurian, Polish or Lithuanian origin in "Geigenau", which corresponds to the literal translation of the underlying Slavic term.
In 1931, the district of Borszymmen included the rural communities of Borszymmen, Duttken, Geigenau, Gronsken, Jendreyken, Lyssewen, Romanowen, Stosznen and Wachteldorf (formerly Przepiorken).
In 1933 there were 131 inhabitants in Geigenau, in 1939 only 112 inhabitants.
After the end of the Second World War in 1945, Geigenau, which belonged to the German Empire ( East Prussia ) and was partially destroyed as a result of the war, fell to Poland. The resident German population, as far as they had not fled, was largely expelled after 1945 and replaced by new citizens from other parts of Poland in addition to the traditional Masurian minority. The place was renamed "Skrzypki".
From 1975 to 1998 Skrzypki belonged to what was then the Suwałki Voivodeship , then joined the newly formed Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship in 1999 . Today the village is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and thus a place within the Gmina Kalinowo association .

Until 1945 Skrzypken resp. Geigenau in the Protestant church Borszymmen in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union as well as in the Roman Catholic Church Prawdzisken (1934 to 1945 Reiffenrode , Polish Prawdziska ) in the Diocese of Warmia .
Today Skrzypki belongs to the Catholic parish Borzymy in the Diocese of Ełk of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland . The Protestant residents stick to the parish in the town of Ełk (Lyck) , a branch parish of the Pisz (Johannisburg) parish in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland .
