Nowa Wieś (German Neu Bartelsdorf ) is a village in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . It belongs to the Purda municipality in the Olsztyński powiat . Today the village has about 450 inhabitants.

history

Today's Nowa Wieś was laid out in 1820 by Protestant colonists as a typical Ermland street village with a village street bordered by linden trees . In 1855 the village was hit by a major flood that flooded the entire village. Two years later, a canal was punctured, which diverted floods into the Layßer See . In 1887/88 a Protestant church was built in the neo-Gothic style. A wall surrounds the rectangular church with the chapel and the sacristy . A pointed roof closes the church tower . The new Protestant cemetery has been located by the church since then and is now a listed building. The old cemetery, located on a hill on the way to Łajs , was left open after the church was built. At the end of the 19th century a fire burned a considerable part of the village.

Not far from the village in the forest just before Wygoda stands the Napoleon oak , under which the French emperor is said to have ate his meal. The place is known as "Napoleon's Hill" or "Meal". A chapel was built opposite the school in 1896. A good number of original Warmian wooden houses have been preserved in the village. They date from the turn of the century. The house's beam construction is on a foundation made of Wacker or brick, and a glazed porch leads to the entrance.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Neu Barteldorf belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Neu Bartelsdorf, 280 people voted to remain with East Prussia, and Poland had 40 votes.

Towards the end of the Second World War there was considerable destruction of the place. Before the war, the village supported two inns - today the preschool, a general store and a village blacksmith are located in the respective pubs; two wagon sheds were only demolished in 2006. The Protestant rectory was on Kirchenweg. After the war it became the property of the sawmill.
