Geographical location

history

The small village called Neu Gelland in 1839 was founded in 1825. From 1874 to 1945 it was part of the Sorquitten district ( Polish: Sorkwity ) in the Sensburg district in the Gumbinnen district (from 1905: Allenstein district ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which New Gehland belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Neu Gehland, 160 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

As a result of the war, New Gehland came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of name "Nowy Gieląd". Today the small place in close connection ("część wsi") with the neighboring village Stary Gieląd (Alt Gehland) is a place in the network of the rural community Sorkwity (Sorquitten) in the powiat Mrągowski ( SAensburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then the Voivodeship Belonging to Warmia-Masuria .
