history

The village was founded in 1777 under King Frederick the Great : From 1770 onwards, the king had the water level of the Madusees lowered, which gained land and above all dry land. In the course of this, the king had some new settlements ("colonies") built. These include Giesenthal, which was laid out in the Kolbatz office from 1777 on the land west of the Madüsees, called the Madanzig , as well as the neighboring Raumersaue . The place name "Giesenthal" was chosen after the war and domain councilor Ernst Bleichert Giese .

The condition after the establishment of the new village is given in Ludwig Wilhelm Brüggemann's detailed description of the current condition of the Royal Prussian Duchy of Western and Western Pomerania (1784): At that time "10 Dutch families and 4 other families (...) lived here. Each of the 10 Dutch families owns 68 acres on land, and each of the 4 other families 29 acres. "

The ownership structure had changed around 1860: there was one large colonist position, which was made up of three colonist positions, seven colonist positions and four semi-colonist positions, which were created by dividing colonist positions. There were also 29 Büdner , a windmill and a jug. The village mayor Rusch was considered a busy man, he had an oil mill and in 1835 he set up a potato syrup factory.

Probably after 1910 the community of Giesenthal was merged with the neighboring community of Raumersaue to form the community of Giesenthal-Raumersaue . Until 1945, Giesenthal belonged as part of the municipality of Giesenthal-Raumersaue to the Pyritz district of the Pomerania province .

After the Second World War , Giesenthal came to Poland , like all areas east of the Oder-Neisse border . The population was driven out . The village was given the Polish place name "Giżyn".
