history

The establishment of Jellinowen took place in 1579 as part of the development of the east of the Great Babantsees ( Polish Jezioro babięty wielkie ) lying terrain. On February 10, 1579, the first village mayor, Jakob Gelentzig, received six free hooves, and eight farmers received various lands according to Kulmer law . The economic situation was not easy, only in the age of Frederick the Great did an economic rise become apparent. In 1781 the financial circumstances of the inhabitants were described as "mediocre".

Jellinowen was incorporated into the newly established district of Salleschen (also: Saleschen, Polish Zalesie ) in 1874. In 1938 it was renamed the “ Rheinswein District ” and until 1945 belonged to the Ortelsburg district of East Prussia .

In 1910 Jellinowen had 509 inhabitants, in 1933 there were still 494. On the basis of the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Jellinowen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 to continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or the Connection to Poland. In Jellinowen, 334 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes. On June 3 - officially confirmed on July 16 - 1938, Jellinowen was renamed "Gellen (Ostpr.)" For political and ideological reasons to prevent foreign-sounding place names. The population was 453 in 1939.

In the 1930s there was another upward trend. In 1935 the village was electrified and there were two inns, three grocery stores and craft shops, a blacksmith's shop, a cartwright's shop, a carpentry shop, a butcher shop, a men's and women's tailor, a master shoemaker, a silkworm breeder and a fisherman.

When all of southern East Prussia was transferred to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war , Gellen was also affected. It was given the Polish form of name "Jeleniowo" and is today with the seat of a Schulzenamt (Polish Sołectwo ) a place in the network of the rural community Dźwierzuty (Mensguth) in the powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then assigned to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
