history

Starosten was founded in 1538 . Between 1874 and 1945 the village was incorporated into the administrative district of Nordenthal ( Polish: Nory ), which - renamed in 1938 to "District of Nordental" - belonged to the district of Oletzko (1933 to 1945 district of Treuburg) in the Gumbinnen administrative district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .

The number of inhabitants was 111 in 1910. It rose to 243 by 1933 and was 208 in 1939.

Based on the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Starosten belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Starosten, 94 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

On June 3 (officially confirmed on July 16) of the year 1938, Starosten was renamed “Mullersbrück” for political and ideological reasons to defend against foreign-sounding place names.

As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and since then has borne the Polish name form "Starosty". Today the village is part of the Gmina Wieliczki (Wielitzken , 1938 to 1945 Wallenrode) in the Powiat Olecki ( Oletzko district , Treuburg district from 1933 to 1945 ), before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
