Mołdzie ( German  Moldzien , 1938 to 1945 Mulden ) is a village in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , which belongs to the Gmina Ełk ( rural municipality Lyck ) in the powiat Ełcki ( Lyck district ).

Geographical location

Mołdzie is located on the south bank of the Groß Lepacker See (1938 to 1945: Groß Ramecksfelder See , in Polish Jezioro Mołdzie ) in the south-east of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, eight kilometers west of the district town of Ełk (Lyck) .

history

Founded Moldzien in 1476. The living space Madeyken (also: Madeiken , Polish Madejki ) the village in 1874 in the District was grave Nick ( Polish Grabnik ) incorporated, which existed until 1945 and the county elk in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905: Administrative district Allenstein ) belonged to the Prussian province of East Prussia .

Moldavia had 241 inhabitants in 1910, compared to 267 in 1933. On the basis of the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Moldavia belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 to continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany ) or the connection to Poland. In Moldavia, 180 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.

On June 3, 1938, Moldavia was renamed "Mulden" for political and ideological reasons to defend against foreign-sounding place names. In 1939 the population totaled 242.

As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and since then has borne the Polish name form "Mołdzie". Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and thus a village in the Gmina Ełk (rural municipality Lyck ) in the powiat Ełcki ( Lyck district ), before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .

Until 1945 Moldzien was incorporated in the Protestant parish church of Lyck in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Catholic parish church of St. Adalbert in the district town in the Diocese of Warmia .
