history

The place called Steetenbruch around 1785 is a large estate in its origin. In 1785 it was a "noble estate and village with 39 fireplaces". 1874 Settenbruch was in the newly built office district Wehlack ( Polish Skierki ) incorporated, which until 1945 the county Rastenburg in the administrative district of Kaliningrad in the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged.

Stettenbruch still had 99 inhabitants in 1820, its number rose to 179 by 1885, was 148 in 1905, 152 in 1910, 188 in 1933, only 164 in 1939.

As a result of the war, Stettenbruch came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name “Szczeciniak”. Today the settlement ( Osada in Polish ) is part of the rural community Srokowo (Drengfurth) in the powiat Kętrzyński ( Rastenburg district ), until 1998 of the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then it has belonged to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
