history

Wissowatten was founded in 1475. Between 1874 and 1945 the village was in the District Milken ( Polish Milki ) incorporated and belonged to the circle Lötzen in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905 and 1945 was: administrative district Allenstein ) the Prussian province of East Prussia . During the same period, Wissowatten and the Ogrodtken residential area (1938 to 1945: Reiken, Polish: Ogródek, no longer existent) were assigned to the Milken registry office .

In 1910 there were 300 residents registered in Wissowatten. Their number rose to 394 by 1933 and totaled 389 in 1939.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Wissowatten belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Wissowatten, 240 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

As a result of the war, Wissowatten came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and has since been known as “Wyszowate” in Polish. With the seat of a Schulzenamt ( sołectwo in Polish ), the village is now part of the Miłki (Milken) rural community in the Giżycki powiat ( Lötzen district ), before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then it has belonged to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
