history
Schellongowken was founded in 1373 when Warpune , a son of the Prussian Sangloben , bequeathed 20 hooves here. In 1785 the place was mentioned as a "noble estate with 1 fireplace". In 1874 he came to the newly established Warpuhnen district , which belonged to the Sensburg district in the Gumbinnen district (1905 to 1945: Allenstein district ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia .
On February 17, 1920 Schellongowken was reclassified to the rural community Surmowen (1938 to 1945 Surmau , Polish : Surmówka ) and thus to the Burschewen district (1938 to 1945 "Prusshöfen district") June. (officially confirmed on 16 July) in "Schilling courts" in 1938 renamed .
On the basis of the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Schellongowken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Schellongowken, 20 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not cast any votes.
As a result of the war, southern East Prussia came to Poland in 1945 . Schillingshöfen received the Polish form of the name "Szelągówka" and is now included after Surmówka , to whose Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) it also belongs. Both places are localities in the network of the rural community Sorkwity (Sorquitten) in powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
