history
In 1487 the village, called Strzelniken after 1912 and Strzelnicken until 1930, was founded as a Freidorf by the Teutonic Order under Magdeburg law. Between 1874und 1945 it was in the District Wiersbinnen ( Polish Wierzbiny ) incorporated, which - renamed "District tunnels village" in 1938 - the county Johannesburg in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905: Administrative district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged. In 1910 Strzelniken had 485 inhabitants.
On the basis of the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Strzelnicken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Strzelnicken, 300 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.
On July 28, 1930, Strzelnickens was renamed "Schützenau". In 1933 there were 403 inhabitants registered here, in 1939 there were 415. As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945 with all of southern East Prussia and was given the Polish form of name “Strzelniki”. Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ), which is also responsible for the neighboring town of Kamieńskie (Kaminsken , 1938 to 1945 Erlichshausen) . Thus Strzelniki is a place in the network of the city and rural community Orzysz (Arys) in the powiat Piski ( Johannisburg district ), until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
