Geographical location

history

The small town called Meytzen at the time was founded in 1557. After 1785 Refussowisna and until 1938 Refusowisna called it consisted of several small farms and homesteads. In 1874 it was incorporated into the newly established district of Markowsken (in Polish: Markowskie ), which - renamed the district of Markau (Eastern Prussia) in 1938 - existed until 1945 and belonged to the Oletzko district (1933–1945 Treuburg district) in the Gumbinnen district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .

In 1910 Refusowisna had 89 inhabitants. On March 23, 1921 it was renamed Rehfeld . The number of inhabitants decreased to 65 by 1933 and was 58 in 1939.

On the basis of the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Refusowisna belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Refusowisna, 49 people voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

As a result of the war, the place came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and was given the Polish name Godziejewo . Today it is part of the rural community Wieliczki (Wielitzken , 1938–1945 Wallenrode) in the powiat Olecki ( Oletzko district , Treuburg district 1933–1945 ), until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
