Geographical location

The hamlet ( Polish osada ) Biała Giżycka is located on the eastern bank of the Jezioro Białe (1938–1945 Bleichenauer See, German  Bialla-See ) in the eastern center of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship. The district town of Giżycko (Lötzen) is 24 kilometers to the northwest.

history

The small estate Bialla , after 1903/1908 with additional designation Adlig Bialla , was incorporated into the newly established administrative district of Neuhoff ( Zelki in Polish ) in 1874. He belonged to the district of Lötzen in the administrative district of Gumbinnen (1905–1945 administrative district of Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia . From 1874 Adlig Bialla was also assigned to the registry office in Neuhoff (Zelki). In 1910 the manor village had 89 inhabitants.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Adlig Bialla belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Adlig Bialla, 40 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not. On September 30, 1928 Adlig Bialla lost its independence and was incorporated into the rural community Adlig Wolla (1938–1945 Bleichenau, Polish Pańska Wolla). On June 3 (officially confirmed on July 16) of the year 1938 the name of the place was changed to Bleichenau .

As a result of the war, the place came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and has since been called Biała Giżycka in Polish . Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt (Polish sołectwo) and thus a place in the network of the rural community Wydminy (Widminnen) in the powiat Giżycki ( Lötzen district ), before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship.

Religions

Until 1945 Adlig Bialla was parish in the Protestant parish Neuhoff in the church province of East Prussia of the Evangelical Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Catholic parish Lötzen in the Diocese of Warmia .

Today Bial Giżycka belongs to the protestant church Wydminy , a filial community of the parish Giżycko in the diocese Mazury the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland , and the parish church Zelki in the diocese Elk (Lyck) of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland .
