After the end of the Second World War in 1945, the Old Gehland , which belonged to the German Empire ( East Prussia ) , fell to Poland. The resident German population, as far as they had not fled, was largely expelled after 1945 and replaced by new citizens from other parts of Poland in addition to the traditional Masurian minority. The place Alt Gehland was renamed in accordance with the Polish transfer of the name to Stary Gieląd.
