Gryzy ( German Griesen ) is a village in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship and belongs to the rural community Świętajno (Schwentainen) in the Powiat Olecki ( Oletzko district , Treuburg district from 1933 to 1945 ).

Geographical location

Gryzy is located in the northeast of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , 15 kilometers west of the district town of Olecko (Marggrabowa , colloquially also Oletzko , 1928 to 1945 Treuburg) .

history

The village , initially called Griesch , before 1785 Grießwolly and until 1945 Griesen , was founded in 1563. In 1874 it was in the District Haasznen (1936-1938 Haaschnen, 1938-1945 Haschnen, Polish Łaźno , the place is no longer in existence) incorporated and was from about 1908 to the District Rogonnen (Polish Rogojny) in the district Oletzko (1933-1945 Treuburg district) in the Gumbinnen administrative district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .

In 1910 there were 346 registered residents in Griesen. Their number decreased to 235 by 1933 and was 299 in 1939.

On the basis of the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Griesen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Griesen, 269 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.

As a result of the war, Griesen came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name “Gryzy”. Today the place is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish sołectwo ) and thus included in the network of the rural community Świętajno (Schwentainen) in the Powiat Olecki ( Oletzko district , from 1933 to 1945 Treuburg district ), before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then assigned to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .

Religions

Until 1945 Griesen was parish in the Evangelical Church of Czychen in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Catholic parish church Marggrabowa (1928 to 1945 Treuburg, Polish Olecko) in the Diocese of Warmia .

Today Gryzy belongs to the protestant church Goldap (Goldap) , a filial community of the parish of Suwalki in the diocese Mazury the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland , and the Catholic church Cichy in the Diocese of Elk (Lyck) of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland .

traffic

Gryzy is on a side street that connects the voivodship road DW 655 near Dunajek (Duneyken , 1938 to 1945 Duneiken) with the Polish state road DK 65 (former German Reichsstraße 132 ) near Kowale Oleckie (Kowahlen , 1938 to 1945 Reimannswalde) . In addition, a side road coming from the west of Mazury (Masuhren , 1938 to 1945 Masuria) ends in Gryzy.

Between 1908 and 1945, what was then Griesen was a train station on the Kruglanken – Marggrabowa (Oletzko) / Treuburg ( Polish Kruklanki – Olecko ) railway , which was not used again as a result of the war.
