Geographical location

history

The small village originally called Sczechen auff Damerau , before 1538 Schachen , around 1540 Sczechen , after 1540 Schechen and before 1579 still Zeche Ostroff , was founded in 1469 by the Teutonic Knight Order as a freehold property according to Kulmischen law .

Small mines belonged to the circle Johannesburg in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905: Administrative district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia . In 1874 it was incorporated into the newly established Sdorren District (from 1938 "Dorren District").

105 inhabitants were registered in Klein Zechen in 1910. Their number rose to 120 by 1933 and was 118 in 1939.

As a result of the war, Klein Zechen came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of name “Szczechy Małe”. Today the small village is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and as such a place in the network of the urban and rural municipality Pisz (Johannisburg) in the Powiat Piski ( Johannisburg district ), until 1998 of the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship . In 2011 Szczechy Małe had 16 inhabitants.

Until 1945 Klein Zechen was parish in the Protestant church Adlig Kessel in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Roman Catholic Church Johannisburg in the Diocese of Warmia .

Today, on the Catholic side, Szczechy Małe belongs to the parish Kociołek Szlachecki with the closest branch church Rostki (Rostken) in the Diocese of Ełk of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland . The Protestant residents stick to the church in the district town of Pisz within the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
