Local history

Schrötersau was one of the six villages that emerged as part of the improvement measures on the Lattanabruch ( Bagna Łatana in Polish ) at the end of the 18th century. On the express royal order, this village was not laid out as a closed settlement, but the houses were built not far from the meadows and pastures in order to be able to avoid long walks in the impassable terrain. As early as 1805, it is said that the residents had cleared and completed all the buildings.

From 1874 to 1945 Schrötersau was in the District United Lattana (Polish Latana Wielka ) integrated, the - the - 1938 in "District Großheidenau" renamed East Prussian district Szczytno belonged.
