history

The small village Sucholasken was founded when Governor Michael Eysack prescribes a hand-held festival over 55 hooves for Sucholasken on March 26, 1550 . Between 1874 and 1945 the village was incorporated into the district of Widminnen ( Wydminy in Polish ). He belonged to the circle Lötzen in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905 and 1945 was: administrative district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia . Sucholasken was also assigned to the registry office in Widminnen.

In 1910 448 inhabitants were registered in Sucholasken; the number was the same in 1933.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Sucholasken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Sucholasken, 400 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not vote. On October 14, 1935, Sucholasken was renamed "Rauschenwalde". The population was 389 in 1939.

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 form of name "Sucholaski". Today the place is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish sołectwo ), which also includes the neighboring towns of Dudka (Schraderswert) and Grodkowo (Maxhof) .
