Gisiel ( German  Geislingen ) is a village in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . It belongs to Gmina Dźwierzuty (Mensguth) in the Powiat Szczycieński ( Rastenburg district ).

Geographical location

Gisiel is located in the southern center of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship , 21 kilometers north of the district town of Szczytno ( Ortelsburg in German  ).

history

In Geislingen , the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order , Konrad Zöllner von Rotenstein , founded two estates of ten hooves each according to Kulm law on January 9, 1389 . The two owners, Alsut and Heinrich , were granted the privilege of fishing and building beehives .

Between 1709 and 1711, 86 inhabitants died of the Great Plague in Prussia .

In 1873 a drainage company was founded in Geislingen , whose activities enabled large swamp areas to be converted into arable and meadow land. That was the beginning of a lively economic boom in the village.

From 1874 to 1945 belonged to Geislingen District Mensguth ( Polish Dźwierzuty ) in district Szczytno in the Administrative district Königsberg (1905 and 1945 was: administrative district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

In 1910 Geislingen had 172 inhabitants, in 1933 there were already 244, and in 1939 223.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Geislingen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Geislingen, 127 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.

As a result of the war, all of southern East Prussia became part of Poland in 1945 . Geislingen was also affected by this. The village received the Polish form of the name "Gisiel". Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and thus a place in the network of the rural community Dźwierzuty (Mensguth) in the Powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .

church

Until 1945 Geislingen was parish in the Evangelical Church of Mensguth in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Catholic Church of Mensguth in the diocese of Warmia .

Today Gisiel still belongs to the church village now called Dźwierzuty, which is now assigned to the Archdiocese of Warmia and the Pasym parish in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland .

school

On April 1, 1888, a school was opened in Geislingen. To do this, the Insthaus had to be converted into a school building. The lessons took place in one class. In 1924 the village received a new modern building.

Gisiel is located on the major north-south traffic axis of the Polish state road 57 (former German Reichsstraße 128 ), which now runs through the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship and ends in the Masovian Voivodeship . There is no connection to rail traffic .
