history

The small village named Szczepanken after 1820 was founded in 1438. This year Heinrich Reuss von Plauen awarded 14 hooves to Seßke von Mensguth. A year later, Hans von Pfeilsdorf prescribed seven hooves to "his loyal Scheppan ", and in the same year also seven hooves to his Biener Wilhelm .

From these service goods with yet another one, an estate was created through the distribution of inheritance and the sale of individual properties . In 1615, 13 Köllmer farms a total of 40 hooves in the village of Sczepanken .

In 1874 Sczepanken was incorporated into the newly established district of Mensguth ( Dźwierzuty in Polish ). He belonged to the circle Ortelsburg in Administrative district Königsberg (1905: Administrative district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

In Sczepanken there was a brick factory about a kilometer south of the village . In 1910 the village had 303 inhabitants, in 1933 there were 261 and in 1939 there were still 272. Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Sczepanken belonged, approved on July 11, 1920, on the continued state membership in East Prussia (and thus consented to Germany) or the connection to Poland. In Sczepanken, 204 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland received five votes.

On June 3 (officially confirmed on July 16) 1938, Sczepanken was renamed "Stauchwitz" for political and ideological reasons to defend against foreign-sounding place names.

As a result of the war, the village and the entire southern East Prussia were transferred to Poland in 1945 and received the Polish form of name "Szczepankowo". Today it is part of the rural community Dźwierzuty (Mensguth , Dorf) in the powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 of the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then it belongs to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
