history

Mennonite prayer house

The village of Cazom was first mentioned in a document before 1166. The name is derived from the personal name * Kazom (a form of the name Kasimir ) with the suffix -jь.

From 1526 the village was in royal possession. In 1764 Mennonites settled in the northern part of the village, closer to the Vistula . First the settlement was called Holendry (German Dutch , Hauländer ), in the early 19th century as Kazuń Niemiecki ( German-Kazun , in contrast to Kazuń Polski , for example Polish-Kazun), in the 20th century Nowy Kazuń or Kazuń Nowy .

On July 1, 1764, Jan August Hylzen ( voivode of Minsk ) signed a contract with the colonists Bartel, Kohnert, Schroeder, Klaus and Dauter to clear forests on the Vistula for a new settlement. Initially there were 23 families, new waves of settlers came in 1773 and 1786. The settlers came from the Kulmerland and the region around Thorn . In 1795, the year of the third partition of Poland, there were 15 families (67 people), in 1827 these numbers rose to 41 and 314 respectively. From 1795 to 1807 it belonged to the province of South Prussia . In 1798 a German Protestant school was opened for 38 children. German Kazan was one of the three Mennonite centers in Mazovia at that time. The Mennonite prayer house was built after the permission of the administration of Congress Poland in 1823. The community was headed by Peter Schroeder until 1833.

In 1891 the church was demolished again as it was threatened by floods from the Vistula.On October 30, 1892, a new church building protected by a dam was inaugurated.This was also destroyed in the First World War, but could be rebuilt in 1924. The Deutsch-Kazun congregation had up to ten daughter congregations at times; before the First World War the congregation had 375 baptized members, about half of whom lived in Kazun itself.

Fort VII of the fortress Modlin was built there in the 19th century . One of the traces of the presence of the Russian soldiers is the former Orthodox church from 1900.

In 1923 a Mennonite Brethren Congregation was founded in Kazun in addition to the existing congregation .

In 1918, after the end of World War I , it became part of Poland. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II . It then belonged to the General Government .

Before the beginning of the Second World War, the community fell victim to the charged national mood between Poles and Germans. On September 7, 1939, eight members of the community were shot dead by Polish soldiers and others were temporarily detained. In 1940 the congregation only had 260 baptized members. On August 30, 1944, the Mennonites were evacuated by Germans.

From 1975 to 1998 the village belonged to the Warsaw Voivodeship .
