history
Local history
Baltze , called Baldi after 1574 , was first mentioned in 1418 when the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order , Michael Küchmeister , gave the Knight Hartmann an estate. Owners of the more than 1000 hectare estate changed frequently until Richard Palmowski finally became the owner: in 1919 he sold the estate to the state, which leased it as a domain . Now it only covered 450 hectares, but in addition to the usual farm buildings there was a distillery, its own power supply, a dairy, blacksmith's shop, a carpentry shop, a large warehouse and the like. a. m. After 1945 it became a state property. Today it is owned by the Warmian-Masurian University , which uses it for research and teaching purposes.
On May 28, 1874, Balden became Amtsdorf and thus gave its name to an administrative district in the Neidenburg district , which existed until 1945 and belonged to the Königsberg district (from 1905 Allenstein district ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia . In 1910 there were 146 inhabitants in Balden.
On November 1, 1928, the Balden manor merged with the neighboring rural community of Baldenofen ( Bałdzki Piec in Polish ) to form the new rural community of Balden. The number of inhabitants was 214 in 1933 and 229 in 1939.
With all of southern East Prussia , Balden was transferred to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war . The village received the Polish form of the name "Bałdy" and is a town in the rural community today composite Purda (United Purden) in Olsztyn County (Kreis Allenstein ) until 1998, the Olsztyn province , since the Warmia and Mazury belong.

"Bischofsallee"

In the period between the terms of office of the bishops Stanislaus Hosius (from 1551) and Ignatius Krasnicki (until 1795), it had become a tradition for the officials to go to Wuttrienen (in Warmia ) when they took office from Balden (in Masuria ) , accompanied by prominent personalities and numerous church members. The memory of this time gave rise to the idea in 2006 to recreate the lime-tree lined path not only as a tourist attraction. On the initiative of Edward Cyfus , the "Bischofsallee" ( Aleja Biskupów in Polish ) was created with memorial stones and plaques next to each tree for the bishops of that time. On September 16, 2006 the solemn opening of the path by Wojciech Ziemba (first archbishop of the Archdiocese of Warmia, created in 1992 ) took place. A year later, the then Primate of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland, Cardinal Józef Glemp , visited Bischofsallee. He was accompanied by the Apostolic Nuncio Józef Kowalczyk and Archbishop Ziemba. In the following years, more memorial stones and plaques were unveiled, including in 2010, when the Grand Master and Abbot General of the Teutonic Order Bruno Platter arrived for this very purpose.
