history

On November 18, 1811, the Czies forestry department was bought by Oberamtmann Friedrich Wollschläger and then renamed Friedrichsthal. Before 1945 the townscape was characterized by scattered large and small courtyards. Between 1874 and 1945 Friedrichsthal belonged to the administrative district Liebenberg (today Polish clone) in the district of Szczytno in the administrative district of Konigsberg the Prussian province of East Prussia . In 1910 there were 122 residents registered in Friedrichsthal. Their number was already 133 in 1933 and 121 in 1939.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Friedrichsthal belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Friedrichsthal, 80 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not cast any votes.

As a result of the Second World War , Friedrichsthal came to Poland with southern East Prussia and has been called Cis ever since . The place is incorporated in the Gmina Świętajno in the powiat Szczycieński and belongs to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship (1975-1998 Olsztyn Voivodeship ).
