history

The former Sczyballen was founded in 1554 and over the years received forms of name such as Sciballen (around 1785) and Szyballen (after 1898). In 1563 the captain Lorenz von Halle prescribed 22 hooves in Sczyballen, in 1785 it was called a village "by Lake Lewentin" with 19 fire places and in 1818 with 26 fire places and 170 souls.

Between 1874 and 1945 the village was in the District Bogatzewen ( Polish Bogaczewo ) incorporated, which - renamed "District Reichensee" 1928 - the county Lötzen in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905 and 1945 was: administrative district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged.

In 1910 there were 270 inhabitants registered in Sczyballen. Their number decreased to 246 by 1933 and was still 209 in 1939.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Sczyballen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Sczyballen, 140 people voted to stay with East Prussia, Poland did not.

On October 24, 1928 Sczyballen was renamed "Schönballen". As a result of the war, the place came to Poland in 1945 with southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name "Szczybały Giżyckie". Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt (Polish sołectwo), which includes the neighboring village of Gorazdowo (Thiemau) . It thus belongs as a district to the Gmina Giżycko (rural community Lötzen ) in the powiat Giżycki (district Lötzen ), before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then assigned to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship.
